1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: So that's how it sounded over the weekend. Two big

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:06,159
Speaker 1: ones Indiana and Don Fisher, the voice of the Hoosiers

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: that you heard there vaulting their way into the top

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: three in college football. And dare I say it, I'm

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: going to allow all of you right now to go

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: ahead and set the recording device on whatever way you're listening,

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: whether it be right now on the app, whether you're

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: listening at ninety three five and one oh seven five FM,

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: whether you're listening at one oh seven five or one

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: oh seven five thefan dot com, whatever means in which

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: you are hearing my voice right now, you might as

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: well record this so you can play it later, because

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: you still won't believe it. Through six weeks of the

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: National Football League season in twenty twenty five, your Indianapolis

15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: Colts are the number one seed in the American Conference

16
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: and are tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the

17
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: best record in professional football. Listen again to what I

18
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: just said. The Indianapolis Colts, who are leading the AFC South,

19
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: are a game clear of everyone in their division. At minimum,

20
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: they are a game clear of everybody in the AFC West,

21
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: and they can further cement and pull away from that

22
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: if they were too, for example, beat the LA Chargers

23
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: coming up next. They are a half game clear of

24
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: everybody in the AFC North, and they're a half game

25
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: clear of everybody in the AFC East. The Indianapolis Colts

26
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: are five and one, and yesterday was one of those

27
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: games that you say, you know what, you take the win,

28
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: and you move along. And there's plenty to unpack from it,

29
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: because yes as the week go we can start to

30
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: nitpick or talk about areas that are of concern that

31
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: dare I say it need to be cleaned up. But

32
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: you did the things that you need to do. And

33
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: that's to me, what is the most remarkable so far

34
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: about this franchise and this group is now we have

35
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: transitioned from I'm looking at the schedule trying to figure

36
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: out the places where they're gonna get to win.

37
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: Too.

38
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the schedule to try to figure out

39
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: places where they're gonna stub their toe.

40
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: And as long as.

41
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: They mind their p's and q's and do what they

42
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: need to do, then you look at it and you go, Okay,

43
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: the Chargers will be tough in La. Kansas City is

44
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: certainly gonna be tough outside of that, does Seattle scare you,

45
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: although they're kind of in the same mold, having that

46
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: year where you're like, really, are they good? And this

47
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: is an NFL town. The NFL is the eight hundred

48
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: pound gorilla, the NFL is the top dog. And we

49
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, last night you're watching Sunday Night Football and yeah,

50
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: the ALCS is on, but and you're still looking at

51
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: the standings, and you're talking about the Colts, and you're

52
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: talking about the bizarre nature of the pregame yesterday, and

53
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: you're talking about the resiliency of Daniel Jones to throw

54
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: a pick six and then come back with this composure

55
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: that the rest of the team seems to rally around.

56
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: And you're talking about Jonathan Taylor and the unique ability

57
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: the Colts have not only to utilize him and take

58
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: advantage of the fact he's the best back in the

59
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: National Football League, but also the schemes, the way that

60
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: they're coming up with freeing him up, using the versatility

61
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: of their offensive lineman to lead him to pull, to

62
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: move in different directions. You're talking about the way that

63
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren is a complete game changer for them, talking

64
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: about the fact that there are some question marks maybe

65
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: within their linebacking cores, but again, they make plays when

66
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: they need to defensively down the stretch. Talking about whether

67
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: or not that was a defensive pass interference that helped

68
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: them in the end, but not looking a gift horse

69
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: in the mouth because there have been other plays over

70
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: the course of the season that did go their way

71
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: as well or maybe win against them, and all of

72
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: those things start to balance themselves out. And there are

73
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: so many things that you can look at Yesterday, the

74
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: the what is it about Anthony Richardson where the bizarre

75
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: seems to find him? And that's at times, and I've

76
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: said this before about him, it's not always his fault

77
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: with Anthony Richardson. There are times with this poor guy

78
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: again goodwill hunting. It's not your fault, son, it's not

79
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: your fault. But for whatever reason, the bazar seems to

80
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: find him. He is literally a to the odd and

81
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: again it's gonna cost him time. I you know, and

82
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: I realize he's not your he's not the guy that's

83
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: taking snaps for you, regardless. But it's impossible to not

84
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: go back in your mind and say to yourself, isn't

85
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: this part of why Daniel Jones was selected as the

86
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: starter to begin with, because you just kind of knew

87
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: this was gonna.

88
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: Be a point.

89
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if Anthony Richardson's your starter. Can you

90
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: imagine if your starting quarterback goes down because of a

91
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: freak accident where a stretch band snaps back and hits

92
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: him in the eye and fractures his orbital bone. You know,

93
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: all of those things, And with all of that compound,

94
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: with all of those ingredients put in, like each one

95
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: of them as an individual shot put into this cocktail

96
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: that I'm serving to you, it is still not as potent.

97
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: Perhaps it is still not as strong a mixed drink,

98
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: perhaps as what might be the bigger story. And I

99
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: never thought in doing sports talk radio in an NFL city,

100
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: I never ever thought.

101
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: And it's not.

102
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: Gonna happen a lot. And I'm not saying it even

103
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: is happening right here. Here's the dilemma that we have

104
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: at this radio station. Here's the dilemma we have that

105
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: I have as a host of this program. Of those

106
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: listening to my voice right now that are sports fans

107
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, probably eighty percent of you are fans of

108
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: the Colts. If you live in Indianapolis and you're a

109
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: sports fan, and I say eighty percent because and I know, gasp,

110
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: but dare I say it? There are people that have

111
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: a team either A you don't grow up in Indianapolis.

112
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: You grew up in Milwaukee. Move down here for Lily,

113
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: you're a diehard Packer fan. Yeah, you like the Colts,

114
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: They're fine, but the Packers are your team. Or you

115
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: grew up a Cowboys fan or a Steelers fan, and

116
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: when you were in the eighth the Colts moved here

117
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: and you eventually learned, but you can't get rid of

118
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: that deep down childhood fandom. So you like the Colts,

119
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: but your favorite team is the cout you know, whatever

120
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: right you have that, or you know, it could be

121
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: that grandpa was a diehard Bears fan and your first

122
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: memories were sitting on Grandpa's lap watching the Bears, and

123
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: so you've always liked the Bears because of Grandpa.

124
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: I get it.

125
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: But eighty percent of you buy and large are Colts fans.

126
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: Eighty five probably might even be higher. On the college

127
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: side of things, sixty percent of you are Indiana fans.

128
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: Forty percent of your diehard notre Dame fans twenty percent

129
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: or diehard Purdue fans not the higher percentage of fan

130
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: listening to me right now is wanting to hear about

131
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. And that's the challenge because the NFL

132
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: is king, and the Colts are the king right Not

133
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: only is the NFL king, the Indianapolis Colts right now

134
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: are king of the NFL, at least for this season.

135
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: I realized the reigning Super Bowl champ would be technically

136
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: the king. But Indianapolis is the number one seed in

137
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: the AFC. But the best story in football right now

138
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: in the United States of America, the best story in

139
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: sports right now in the state of Indiana, the story

140
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: that is the one that has the most surreal line going,

141
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: the story that is the one that you wouldn't.

142
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: You wouldn't believe it if you went.

143
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: In the time machine and I went back and tried

144
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: to tell two year, two year ago version of me

145
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: that arguably the best team in college football is the

146
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: Indiana Hoosiers.

147
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: And I get it.

148
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: I get that I am speaking to a smaller percentage

149
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: of you. I understand it. I'm asking of you that

150
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: you hear me out on this. Even if you're not

151
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: a fan of Indiana. I totally understand and respect it,

152
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: and I appreciate your ear and we'll have plenty of

153
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 1: time to talk about the NFL. But I've thought about

154
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: this very long and hard, and I thought about it

155
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: very seriously. What is the bigger story right now in Indianapolis.

156
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: The more popular story is that of the Colts. They're

157
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: both great stories. They're both great, right, They're great. The

158
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: more popular story is that of the Colts. Based on

159
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: the numbers, again, Delicatessen, Colts are turkey sandwiches. Most of

160
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: you coming in are wanting turkey. But at the same time,

161
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: when all of a sudden, I realized that I have

162
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: the absolute best batch of pastrami ever. That's rare. They're

163
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: the mackanof peaches. You can only get them so often.

164
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: I've got to be able to tell people, listen, you

165
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: got to try this. And right now, Indiana football and

166
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: what they did this weekend, what Kurt Signetti has done

167
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: and what that program imus doing, is the best story

168
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: right now in college football. If I'm doing sports talk

169
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: radio right now in Mesa, Arizona, if I'm doing sports

170
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: talk radio right now in Galveston, Texas. If I'm doing

171
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: sports talk radio right now in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, I'm talking

172
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: about the fact that Indiana may be the most complete

173
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: football team in the country. Ohio State's unbelievable, no question,

174
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: no question. But in terms of you know what Indiana

175
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: did on Saturday. Indiana on Saturday went into Oregon and

176
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: outpaced Oregon. They out fasted Oregon. Oregon, which is a

177
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: team that is known for its speed. Oregon. That is

178
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: a team that's known for playing in space. Oregon, that's

179
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: a team that's known for having a defense that can

180
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: be smothering because of their speed. And then obviously athletes

181
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: galore Oregon with unlimited budget and Phil Knight Nike money

182
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: and the duck holding up the sign saying that the

183
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: Indy five hundred is Walmart f one. All that right,

184
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: Oregon is a cachet, a brand. Oregon a team when

185
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: you go in that's won twenty plus straight games at home,

186
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: the whole deal, hasn't lost a conference game, all of it.

187
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 2: And Indiana went in there.

188
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: Indiana, which two years ago was snapping and singing their

189
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: fight song after beating Akron in four overtimes two years ago.

190
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: The biggest basement, dog dwelling, joke program and college football

191
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: of all time, not narrative fact, the losingest program in

192
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: the history of Division one college football two years ago,

193
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: celebrating a four overtime win against Akron two years ago.

194
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: And now Indiana is ranked in the top five. They

195
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: are the third ranked team in the country. What do

196
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: we believe about rankings? Usually not a lot less Your

197
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: teams rank third, and then you're like, hallelujah, let's talk

198
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: about the rankings. But Indiana, they have the best resume

199
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: right now in college football because their linebackers make plays,

200
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: because their running backs make plays, because their quarterback makes plays,

201
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: because their coach is a leader and is vociferous and

202
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: is confident, all of it all across the board. And

203
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: that happens on Saturday, and you're thinking to yourself, Okay,

204
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: what possibly could even equate to this biggest story heading

205
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: into the capitol, you know, to start Monday morning. And

206
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: that's the fact that the Colts now have the best

207
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: record in the National Football League, at least tied with

208
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: it with Tampa Bay. What a weekend, What an incredible weekend,

209
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: And we got plenty to unpack over the course of today.

210
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: Don Fisher are going to join us the voice of

211
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: the Hoosiers about fifteen minutes from now. Mike Chappel will

212
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: join us to talk a little bit of Colts at

213
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: one o'clock today, and I believe Sason college basketball polls

214
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: come out today. Rob Blackman is going to join us

215
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: the voice of the Pernue Boilermakers coming up at the

216
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: two o'clock hour. We can do both football and basketball

217
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: with Rob, but certainly from a basketball standpoint, there's a

218
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: lot to look forward there as well, and the Pacers

219
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: and Action tonight taking on the San Antonio Spurs. But

220
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it was an unbelievable weekend and I

221
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: did not think. I did not think that anything over

222
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: the course of the seventeen weeks of the National Football

223
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: League season could eat I'm not going to say eclipse,

224
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: but equate to a talking point during the course of

225
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: the season like the NFL does. But college football right

226
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: now with Indiana is right there. I really did think,

227
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: I'll admit this now. I thought Indiana would go in

228
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: and hang with Oregon. I did, and I was a

229
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: little bit curious about whether or not Oregon after the

230
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: pen when I saw Oregon against Penn State. I was

231
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: so impressed by the way they played down the stretch

232
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: of that game and their offensive efficiency against Penn State,

233
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: and I thought, Okay, this is going to be a

234
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: monumental task for Indiana, not just against Oregon, but going

235
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: into Happy Valley as well, two big tests for the Hoosiers.

236
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: And then once Penn State completely fell apart. And will

237
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: get more into that later, because that does fall back

238
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: to Indiana when you're talking about Penn State football and

239
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: where they go from here, and I think you all

240
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about there, but I wondered if

241
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: maybe Oregon, Okay, is Oregon not as stout as we thought.

242
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: I still think they're extremely good, but Indiana went in

243
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: and out Oregon to Oregon. That's what was so impressive

244
00:14:55,280 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: to me about it. So then you flip the page

245
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: to the next day, you're still in that that that

246
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: that gaze about all of it, and you hear the

247
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: news before the game even began. For the Colts, it

248
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: was bizarre. Before the game even began, it was bizarre.

249
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: First off, the play with Mooney Ward and you saw it,

250
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: I say, play in the pregame. He's going out, He's

251
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: running a pattern, He's at full speed and Drew Ogletrees

252
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: doing the same thing, and it had to be like

253
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: slow motion for the two assistants that were involved in

254
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: each respective player watching literally it's like you're watching it unfold,

255
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: probably thinking to them, you know, the other one's got

256
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: to know. The other one's got to know, and then

257
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: boom the collision and now Ward is down. And that

258
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: is such an important aspect because you knew going into

259
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: the game that Shavert Moody Ward was going to have

260
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: one job, one job, follow Marvin Harrison Junior everywhere he goes.

261
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: And while Marvin Harrison Junior we know, partially because his

262
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: name is Marvin Harrison Junior, partially because of the pedigree

263
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: Ohio State, and partially because of the film, we know

264
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: what a talent he is. But he hasn't really gotten

265
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: off and running at the professional level. But he's starting

266
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: to show it. Had a primetime game recently where looked

267
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: like he was very like some assembly required out of

268
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: the box, and then it started to come together, and

269
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: so you knew what a player that was, and you

270
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: knew what Jacobe Brissett. Whenever you get a backup quarterback

271
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: that's coming in and Brissett is a competent player, no question,

272
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: we know that in Indianapolis. But he's gonna have to

273
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: go safety net, he's gonna have to go layups, he's

274
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: gonna have to go with the cushion of a player

275
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: to get him in rep and you knew that was

276
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: going to be Marvin Harrison Junior.

277
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: So before the.

278
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: Game even begins, the guy whose job is going to

279
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: be stick with him like he's gum and let me

280
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: know if he's dent teen boom out. And then Marvin

281
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: Harrison Junior speaking of the bizarre out. So there were

282
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: all these weird things going on. The Anthony Richardson injury

283
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: the last time that I heard of an injury like that,

284
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it was the exact same injury,

285
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 1: but I do recall Reggie Miller, if we're going on

286
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: local reference standpoint, Reggie Miller having the season. I believe

287
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: it was ninety six where he had an eye socket

288
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: fracture or break that led him to miss time and

289
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: then wear the goggles and everything else. And it was

290
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: a lengthy process. And you hope the best for Anthony Richardson,

291
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, but it just seems be it

292
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: fair or that the bizarre is attached anywhere he goes, right,

293
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,719
Speaker 1: But the thing that I thought was key in the

294
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: game yesterday and the thing that again validated we're past

295
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: the point now of trying to validate the Daniel Jones

296
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: selection as the starting quarterback. The guy is having potentially

297
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: a pro you know, an MVP season at this point.

298
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: But what Daniel Jones did yesterday to me that was

299
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: the most impressive was Arizona is a little bit different.

300
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm not, by any stretch of the imagination and NFL

301
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. I'm not a defensive coordinator. I don't pretend

302
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: to be either one or know the nuances of what

303
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: goes into the schemes, the looks, all of that in

304
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: the National Football League level. But I do know that Arizona,

305
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: you know, there are certain defenses that you go in

306
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: and they present a certain look to you and you

307
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: know right away what they're doing. You can go back

308
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: and watch video of whether it be Manning or luck

309
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers quarterbacks in this town that have been able

310
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: to go up to the line of scrimmage, look across,

311
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: see exactly what's happening and say, Okay, Mike linebacker's here.

312
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: Here's exactly what they're doing. And oftentimes if a play

313
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: is called that they know may not be it's not

314
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: that they're looking for the best play. They're looking to

315
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: audible out simply to get out of a bad play.

316
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: So they're coming up to the line and they're saying, Okay,

317
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: they've called for me a bubble screen here, but the

318
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: way they're lined up defensively, that playing is gonna work.

319
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: So I'm just going to audible to a handoff to

320
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 1: get out of that play and then we'll move along

321
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: and regroup. And there is a skill that comes with that.

322
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: And Daniel Jones yesterday I thought was really really good,

323
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: consider he was seeing as tricky a junk defense as

324
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: he will see all year in terms of a defense

325
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: that gives him looks at the line that are totally

326
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: different than the look that they are actually going to

327
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: execute once the ball is snapped, and more often than

328
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: not through his progressions. And I know he threw a

329
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: pick right, a costly pick, but his ability to bounce

330
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: back from that, his ability to quickly process, compute, analyze,

331
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: and then go out of a bad play to eventually

332
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: get back into a good play, I thought was a

333
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: huge key. And it goes back to again and we'll

334
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: hear later from Shane Steichen talking about it. Just this

335
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: symbiotic nature between coach and quarterback, and that relationship right

336
00:20:52,440 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: now is growing and rippling throughout the entire franchise and

337
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: there are even messages with that that go across the

338
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: rest of the NFL. You know, I saw that Tua

339
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: in Miami. Tua in Miami called out his teammates, said

340
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: enough is enough and called out his teammates. And the

341
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: thing that he called him out for was he said

342
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: that it comes down to preparedness and attention to detail

343
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: and being on time for meetings, organizational things, Because what

344
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: if we heard about about the quarterback position, it's organizational.

345
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: It's more than just coming up and being able to

346
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: throw the football. It's about being able to process all

347
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: of that. And we didn't know that Daniel Jones was

348
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: that guy. I don't know that we had a chance

349
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: in New York to see that Daniel Jones is that guy.

350
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: But whether it be just the brief time he was

351
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, whether it be being able to then sit

352
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: back and analyze and really look over everything that took

353
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: place for him, in New York, whatever it may be.

354
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: Everything now the marriage between Daniel Jones and Shane Steiken

355
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: is working, and it's working for the entire roster because

356
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: I think they are following in line of the example

357
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: being set of organizational and there's a ton to get

358
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: to and a ton to celebrate, and really it is

359
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: when I talk about symbiotic, it's a symbiotic nature in

360
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: this town right now of two football teams, two football teams,

361
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: both of which not only and I'm not going to

362
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: say that Indiana's exceeding expectation.

363
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 2: We knew they were going to be really good.

364
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: But you look at Indiana and you look at the Colts,

365
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: and now you're looking at it going, you know what,

366
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: good teams find ways to win games. That Iowa game

367
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: was huge for Indiana because good teams dig down, they

368
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: find a way, and then they put it behind them

369
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,239
Speaker 1: and they move along and they get better. And the

370
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: Colts I think, have done the same thing as well.

371
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: And you start to look at the schedule and the

372
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: sugar flum pair the sugar plum faerries start dancing in

373
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: your head because there's a lot to be excited about.

374
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: And Don Fisher deserves to be as excited about it

375
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: as anybody, because he sat through a lot of bad

376
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: football and he's getting real warded with as you heard

377
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: the excitement in his voice, the story of college football.

378
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: And he's going to join us on the other side

379
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: and we'll take a look back on what was a

380
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: spectacular day in Eugene, and we'll do it next. You're

381
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: listening to Quarian Company here on a victorious Monday.

382
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: On the fan. The Indiana Hoosiers.

383
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: They go out to Audstin Stadium in Eugene, Oregon. And

384
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: I thought out Oregon to Oregon because look, I think

385
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: the world of Oregon and the way that they that

386
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: football program and the fact that they seem to always

387
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: have speeded every position in Indiana was faster, Indiana was

388
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: better thirty to twenty.

389
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 2: They win.

390
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: Don Fisher joining us now on the Java House Peel

391
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: and poor guest line and Don todd Byer, our executive producer,

392
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: just came in and said, you know, and Todd's a

393
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: prdue guy, by the way, and he said, you know,

394
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: I'm just happy for Don Fisher and we've talked about

395
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: that before, but Don, this is unbelievably cool, and I

396
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: know that we went through this last year, but man,

397
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: it feels like it's even another rung hire, doesn't it.

398
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 3: It does right now, there's no doubt about that. Obviously,

399
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 3: Indiana winning over Oregon at Oregon against a team.

400
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 4: That everybody picked to win.

401
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 3: That ballgame, and now Indiana's moved up into the spot

402
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 3: that they were essentially in the third position in the rankings.

403
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 3: It's like it's kind of a fairy tale, if you

404
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 3: know what I mean, especially for those of us who

405
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 3: have been around Indiana football for as long as I have.

406
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 3: But at the same time, it's not a fairy tale.

407
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 3: We know that it's reality, and it's probably the most

408
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 3: fun I've ever had calling football games.

409
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: Don I think the thing and I want you to

410
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: tell me if you agree with this or if what

411
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: I'm about to say even makes sense. But to me,

412
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: the thing that is the most astounding of this is

413
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: it is a complete mindset shift in culture change. And

414
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: by that I mean, you know, I'm watching that game

415
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: with Oregon and I'm sitting there visualizing and seeing the

416
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: lane open up, where I think, to myself, this is

417
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: going to be a typical Kurt Signetti Indiana game where

418
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: they just wait for the other team to make mistakes,

419
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: they keep their foot on the pedal, they pull away,

420
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: and in the last couple of minutes, you know what's

421
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: going to happen. And that is such the antithesis of

422
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: the mindset that we had for so long. It is

423
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: remarkable to me that we in two years have almost

424
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: forgotten about what it was like to be an Indiana

425
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: fan for the previous one hundred Does that make sense?

426
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 3: It does, except I'll never forget, well, yeah, what it

427
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 3: was like before.

428
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 4: But I will tell you this, there's no question that it's.

429
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 2: It's a complete mind change, it really is.

430
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 3: And as quickly as it has come, that's the most

431
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 3: remarkable thing because I don't know that anybody has ever

432
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 3: turned a program around faster than what Kurt Signetti has

433
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 3: and then turned that mindset of the fan base around

434
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 3: along with it. Because I don't care who you are,

435
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 3: if you've been an Indiana football fan forever, you've been

436
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 3: sorry about that big Mac truck to miscisco on by

437
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 3: at any rate, if you've been a football fan at

438
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 3: Indiana for any length of time, you know what the

439
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 3: struggles have been and how do you get out of that?

440
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 3: And you know the Bill Bowery era was a great

441
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 3: era of Indiana football, and nobody wanted to talk about

442
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 3: that back in the day because they started out and

443
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 3: eleven in Bill's first year, and then it was four

444
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 3: and seven the second year. But after that, all of

445
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 3: a sudden, for about the next eight years, Indiana football

446
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 3: was something special under coach Bowery. But this has been

447
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 3: beyond that because of the success and how quickly it

448
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 3: has come, and so there's no way to forget the

449
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 3: past and know what we were at that time. But

450
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 3: at the same time, you better celebrate this while it's happening,

451
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 3: because we don't know how long that's going to take place.

452
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 3: But we do know that if Kurt Signetti is here

453
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 3: that long, it's gonna say this way because he is

454
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 3: something special.

455
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: Don you know.

456
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: You go back to Bill Mallory, who was a great

457
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: football coach, and while I did not know him by

458
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: all account, from what I've heard, a great man, right.

459
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: I mean, those that played for him speak the world

460
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: of Bill Mallory and and those teams were tough and disciplined.

461
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: Signetti's teams are those things. But you know, it's a

462
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: different era of football now, and they there's a speed there.

463
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean, they just they are literally they swarm you.

464
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 1: So my question would be this, and maybe we don't

465
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: know this because it's only two years in, but do

466
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: you believe that Kurt Signetti has gone out and gotten

467
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: players that have basically been able to play the system

468
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: that he had in mind? Or is this the kind

469
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: of coach that because of coming in here, getting the

470
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: transfers and then with the portal, he is schematically coming

471
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: up with things that benefit what it is that he sees.

472
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: Does that make sense what I'm asking?

473
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 5: Yeah?

474
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 4: I think so.

475
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, Jake, the thing about Signetti is this,

476
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 3: and I don't think I think he gets different players

477
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 3: and he but here's the first thing. The first thing

478
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 3: about Sibbetti is when he looks at film, he dissects

479
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 3: a player. He dissects what he thinks is really good,

480
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 3: what he doesn't think is quite as good. Can I

481
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 3: coach this kid? Is he coachable? He looks at the

482
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 3: character or the kid first, and then he figures out

483
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 3: if if this guy progresses like we think he can,

484
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 3: does he fit what we need? So he goes through

485
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 3: a whole process of how.

486
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 2: He looks at.

487
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 3: Players, whether they're in high school kids or they're transfer

488
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 3: portal players. And when he looks at the transfer portal,

489
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 3: he looks at experience first, other than the character aspect.

490
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 3: That character is one of the biggest things he looks

491
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 3: at first. But again he looks at playing experience. How

492
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 3: much does this guy played? Is he coachable? Can he change?

493
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 3: Can he do things that we ask him to do.

494
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 3: He goes through a whole process of things. I can't

495
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 3: even relate all the things that he asks himself about

496
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 3: what he sees on film of a kid and then

497
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 3: in talking to that young man to see if he

498
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 3: can get him to come to Indiana. So he's just

499
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 3: unique in that way. I don't think he looks at

500
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 3: the ranking of a player. Got we got more three

501
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 3: star guys in this football team that we have anything

502
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 3: else other than a few transfer portal guys that came in.

503
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 3: But he's looking at whether he thinks the kid can

504
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 3: develop and be the kind of player that he likes,

505
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 3: the kind of player that's disciplined, understands his role, and

506
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 3: then takes care of business on the field. So I

507
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,959
Speaker 3: just think he's unique. I'm not saying that if there

508
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 3: are any other coaches that do exactly the same thing

509
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 3: because there I just and we've been around them other

510
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 3: than a Bill Lowery type who was all about toughness

511
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 3: and physicality when he came here, and when you watched

512
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 3: Indiana play under Bill Bwery in his first year in Indiana,

513
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 3: you could tell that this team was going to be

514
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 3: better than what we'd had in the past just by

515
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 3: the way they went out and performed on the field.

516
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: And it wasn't because they were great teams. They were

517
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 3: zero to eleven in that first season, and then they

518
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 3: got better and better in the next two years. Kurt

519
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 3: Signetti has done this in one season. He's done the

520
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 3: very first season he's been here, made up a successful team,

521
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 3: got to the College Football Playoff. That's why this is

522
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 3: so unique and it's so much fun to be a

523
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 3: part of because we've never seen anything like it before.

524
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: Don speaking of never seen anything like it now, I'm

525
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: not saying what I'm about to say, I've never seen,

526
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: but it's been a while in terms of great catches. Okay,

527
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: there was a play in that game in Oregon that

528
00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: I thought exemplified the Signetti era, and I'm talking talking

529
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: about Omar Cooper Junior goes up and makes a one

530
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: handed grab. I can't remember if it was a second

531
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: down or a third down. I think it was on

532
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: the first half of the game. But he makes this

533
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,959
Speaker 1: remarkable one head to catch. Right, he comes down and

534
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: then has the presence of mind to then put a

535
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: spin move basically break a tackle and dive forward to

536
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: get the first down. So he had the style was there,

537
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: but it was the presence of mind and the discipline

538
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: to then have the substance to finish the play and

539
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: go one step further. Now, some of that Omar Cooper,

540
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: the kid out of Lawrence North. You know, he gets

541
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: a lot, He gets all the credit there, don't get

542
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: me wrong. But part of that to me just feels

543
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: like it exemplified attention to detail. And I don't know

544
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: that I've seen a sports team that we've covered in

545
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: this market have attention to detail like this Indiana football team.

546
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 2: Now, I'm going to give you.

547
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,479
Speaker 1: Don Fisher the mission here to tell me that I

548
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: am full of hyperbole there.

549
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 3: Well, there's no question there is a tremendous amount of

550
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 3: attention to detail on this football team. For every position,

551
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 3: for every player, they all are responsible for those things. Again,

552
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 3: it is something that Signetti and his coaching staff teaches.

553
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 3: They teach you the things you have to do on

554
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 3: the football field to be successful. And if you look

555
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 3: at here's the other thing, Jake, fundamentals. If you don't

556
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 3: coach fundamentals, then you have no chance to be a

557
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 3: great football program or a great basketball program or anything

558
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 3: else in sports. You have to teach the fundamentals first,

559
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 3: and they have to be a constant from a practice perspective.

560
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 3: And if you do that, all of a sudden things

561
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 3: start to fall in place for players. Players realize that

562
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 3: that's the key. As you pay attention to fundamentals and

563
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 3: you work on those kinds of things, that's when you

564
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 3: become a great football player and a great football team.

565
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 3: And I think that is again something that this coach

566
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 3: and this coaching staff puts forth on a daily basis

567
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 3: in their practice sessions and all those kinds of things

568
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 3: and the other thing that they do. And I think

569
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 3: this is critical this day and age because there are

570
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 3: so many coaches at the football on football and basketball,

571
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 3: they just practice NonStop. They'll go two and a half,

572
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 3: three and a half hours, those kinds of things. This

573
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 3: coach doesn't do that. They practice an hour and fifty minutes.

574
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 3: Generally speaking, that's about it. And every moment of those

575
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 3: practices are something's going on, something's being instructive, something's being

576
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 3: talked about, and they work on that repetitively all the time.

577
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 3: It's just it's a process. To some it could be

578
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 3: a tedious process. But to these players, I think they've

579
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 3: all bought into the idea if we continue to do

580
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 3: this the way our coach is asking us to do it.

581
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 3: And I heard Aidan Fisher basically in an interview the

582
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 3: other day simply say the very same thing I'm talking

583
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 3: about here. You continue to do it day after day.

584
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 2: Week after week.

585
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 3: You mount one practice and one fundamental on top of

586
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 3: the other, and you just continue to work at it,

587
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 3: and you just try to get better each and every

588
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 3: time that you're in a practice session. I just think

589
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 3: that philosophy is the only way to go if you're

590
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 3: going to be successful. And maybe other schools do it,

591
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 3: I've never seen anybody do it faster than what Signetti

592
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 3: has done it with this program and with this team,

593
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 3: and maybe the transfer portal and the older guys that

594
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 3: they get out of the portal and guys that they're

595
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,720
Speaker 3: more experienced they buy into it too, So it doesn't

596
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 3: matter who coached you before. You have to buy into

597
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 3: what they're selling now. And these kids all do it

598
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 3: and it's amazing.

599
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Don, before we let you go, Don Fisher is

600
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: our guest. He's on the Java House Peel and Poor

601
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 1: Guest line. He's the voice of the third ranked Indiana

602
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: who's your's highest ranking in school history. Don, obviously, and

603
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 1: it goes without saying, you know you mentioned it. How

604
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: long is Signetti going to be here? Well, I'm going

605
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: to get into that in a minute here, but I

606
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 1: wanted to ask your take on this. We don't know, obviously,

607
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: and it would be unfair for me to pretend that

608
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: you have some sort of immediate line into the thought

609
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: process of Kurt Signetti in his future. But because his

610
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: home state school, a major power in Penn State, is

611
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: now looking for a coach, his name is going to

612
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: be linked to that. What sort of things has he

613
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: said to you, insinuated to you in interviews or otherwise

614
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: just in terms of his I guess comfort level at

615
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: Indiana and whether or not you think he is a

616
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: guy that has an eye elsewhere.

617
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 2: The only thing.

618
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 3: I could tell you in that regard Jake, and I

619
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 3: have no knowledge of what his plans are in the future,

620
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 3: other than to say that last year, when somebody asked

621
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 3: him something about all the success you had this first

622
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 3: year in Indiana, would you be looking elsewhere? He said,

623
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 3: why would I be? Why would I want to leave

624
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 3: an emerging superpower? So all I can tell you, Jake,

625
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 3: I'm not even gonna worry about that. I'm going to

626
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 3: enjoy what I see right now, have fun with it,

627
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: relation in it, and hopefully couraging that he stays here forever.

628
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 3: But if it doesn't happen that way, I'm still going

629
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 3: to thank a man who has absolutely changed Indiana football.

630
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 2: It's no question. I mean, it's unbelievable.

631
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: And it continues with Michigan State next on the schedule.

632
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: That game Saturday three point thirty start in Bloomington and

633
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: what will be an awesome, awesome atmosphere and Don Fisher

634
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: will have the call. Of course, Don, it was an

635
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: awesome day on Saturday third ranked. Certainly enjoy it and

636
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: we look forward to listening with the Michigan State game

637
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: coming up in five days from now.

638
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 2: Appreciate it as always.

639
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 3: Thanks Jake, Appreciate you're having me as always.

640
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: All Right, Don Fisher, the voice of the Indiana Hoosiers,

641
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: we come back, there is in fact that speculation about Indiana,

642
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: and yes, we will get much more into the Colts.

643
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,240
Speaker 2: Mike Chapel going to join us in fifteen.

644
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: But for Indiana and worrying about that situation from the

645
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: football standpoint. If Indiana needs to find some peace of

646
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: mind in regards to their coach, need they only look

647
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: in the mirror? I will explain what I mean next.

648
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: Mike Chapel joining us about eight minutes from now. Let

649
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: me tell you a story that you're gonna hear a

650
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: lot about, at least for the You know, I don't

651
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: know what the timeline is going to be, and certainly

652
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: I am other than Tyler Warren. I'm not naive into

653
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: thinking that people in Indianapolis give too much a hoot

654
00:37:55,600 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: about Penn State football, but it does start to become

655
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: topical for the fact of what we were just talking about.

656
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 2: I get it.

657
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: You're a purdu fan, Notre Dame fan, Butler fan, Indiana

658
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: State fan, Ball State fan, whatever it might be.

659
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 2: I get it.

660
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: You're not tuning in to me today to hear about

661
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: Indiana football. But it is a massive story and it's incredible.

662
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: What Kurt Signetti has done is incredible and there is

663
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: a reason why when he was hired. I remember just

664
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: before he came to Indiana, James Madison was ranked, you know,

665
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: they were surging up the rankings.

666
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 4: And.

667
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 1: He was being interviewed and he had that bravada right

668
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: that just like, unapologetic, this is who we are, you

669
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: take it or leave it, and we're a darn good

670
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: football team and etc. And it was just like, whoa

671
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: this dude is? I mean, this is a confident dude.

672
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: And then he comes in of course with Indiana, I

673
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: just win Google me, and I mean he's never backed

674
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: down from any of it, and that bravada is exactly

675
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: what probably is needed and longed for at the Marquee

676
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: School of his home state and Penn State, Penn State.

677
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean it was literally what two weeks ago, three

678
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: weeks ago when I'm watching Penn State and Oregon and

679
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,959
Speaker 1: Penn State's leading that game, and what have I said

680
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: on this show a billion times about Penn State every

681
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,959
Speaker 1: year with Penn State for the last like twenty years

682
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: ranked in the top five preseason start out six to zero,

683
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: big time matchup against typically it's Ohio State lead seventeen

684
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: to six in the fourth quarter. You get excited for

685
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: Penn State and then get out scored twenty one to

686
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 1: nothing in the fourth quarter and lose twenty seven to seventeen.

687
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: And then the next week turn around and lose to

688
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: Minnesota Rents and repeat. It's been that way for twenty

689
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 1: years now. And yeah, I get it, Happy Valley and

690
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: one hundred and five thousand people and whiteouts and all that.

691
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: I get all of it. And Penn State the program

692
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 1: itself one of the richest and most tradition rich programs

693
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: in college football. Joe Pah and you know Shane Conlin

694
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: and interceptions and knocking off Miami and Kurt Warner with

695
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: the c out of k and you know all of it,

696
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: on and on and on right, great players, great history,

697
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: and now Penn State. Because of the fact that Penn

698
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: State and its fan base and its alumni, they had

699
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: this expectation that in fact, it is still the same

700
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: Penn State, and in branding and in legacy it is,

701
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: but in wins and losses into today's player, it is not.

702
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 1: And I know that Indiana fans are worried that Kurt

703
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: Signetti because he's going to be a target. He has

704
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: coached at three different schools in the state of Pennsylvania.

705
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 1: He grew up in the state of Pennsylvania. Now he

706
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: played at West Virginia, but he has coached at Indiana, Pennsylvania.

707
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: He's coached at Temple, He's coached at Pitt. Right, he

708
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: has coached and been around, you know, schools in the

709
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: state of Pennsylvania. And so if you are a penn

710
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: State fan, you're looking at it and you're going, this

711
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: is our Brad Stevens. One would assume I have no idea,

712
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: but one would assume because he grew up in the

713
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: state of Pennsylvania, even though Pennsylvania is a huge state,

714
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,919
Speaker 1: and maybe he grew up a Pitt or a West

715
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: Virginia fan versus being a penn State fan.

716
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 2: I don't know.

717
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: But you don't coach in the state of Pennsylvania at

718
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: that many different schools without understanding the heritage, the legacy,

719
00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: the empowerment of penn State football. It's just like Indiana.

720
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: So for Indiana fans that are looking and saying, oh gosh,

721
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm worried it's going to be a slam dunk that

722
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:12,280
Speaker 1: Kurt Signetti goes to Penn State, it's like Brad Stevens.

723
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens grew up in Indiana. Now Stevens, we know

724
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: grew up an Indiana basketball fan. We don't know that

725
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: Signetti grew up a Penn State football fan. But Stevens

726
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: grew up in the height of Indiana basketball under the

727
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: Bob Knight culture, went to a smaller school in the

728
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 1: state of Indiana. In Signette's case, he went to West Virginia,

729
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: which is right there bordering on Pennsylvania. Obviously, but then

730
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: Stevens coached different school in the state of Indiana than

731
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: Indiana itself. Was aware of Indiana all the time. Goes

732
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: and takes a job. Now, admittedly coaching and then being

733
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: the president of the Boston Celtics is a hill of

734
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 1: being difference than being the coach at a upstart Indiana program,

735
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: but nonetheless takes another job and then gets to a

736
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: situation where you look at it. And in the case

737
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 1: of Brad Stevens and Indiana, trust me, they've tried everything

738
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: to lure him back, and every time Stevens looked at

739
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: it and just simply there was always something that was

740
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: the roadblock to him getting that gig, and part of

741
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: that roadblock is, to be honest with you, the culture

742
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: and expectation of Indiana basketball that is almost impossible to

743
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: meet for anybody. There's a reason why if you look

744
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: at Indiana basketball, there's a reason why. Who was the

745
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: last India I ask you this, since Bob Knight left Indiana,

746
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: who was the last coach that Indiana hired that was

747
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: their first choice or even their second? And for Penn

748
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: State football, I think Kurt Signetti looks at it the

749
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: exact same way. And listen, I have all the respect

750
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: in the world for the football wins and lost his

751
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,760
Speaker 1: tradition of Penn State. Obviously, there is the dark cloud

752
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: of whether or not and we'll never know what Joe

753
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: Paterno did or didn't know of the scandal that went

754
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: on at Penn State and horrible things that took place

755
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: within Penn State football, and whether or not that university

756
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: and department and everything else we're aware of it. That's

757
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: a whole different topic. But in terms of twenty twenty

758
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: five football and Penn State University and everything that goes

759
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: into it, all you need to do is look at

760
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: James Franklin, you go, Okay, so you look and I

761
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: know it was twelve years in the making, but the

762
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: guy's been a good coach. He's had a terrible record

763
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: against top ten teams. I get that. But if you're

764
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: Kurt Signetti, why would you leave Indiana? Yeah, Penn State

765
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: might pay you fifteen million. Indiana can pony up and

766
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: give you that money. I can promise you that, and

767
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: Indiana would be willing to do so. I can promise

768
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,919
Speaker 1: you that. And right now with what he has going

769
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,479
Speaker 1: at Indiana, he's ranked in the top five right now

770
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: at Indiana, why take on the additional pressure, the additional expectation,

771
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: the additional immediate hot seat at Penn State When you've

772
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: got it here at Indiana you got it pretty good,

773
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: and he's got it rolling. And I think when it

774
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: comes down to it, Signetti can look at home and

775
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: home is home, realize that. But he's gonna assess and

776
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: analyze all of it and say, you know what, why

777
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: not Indiana get me the T shirt? Why not Indiana?

778
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay here. And I think that's what he's

779
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: going to do because I think he looks at it

780
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: and his total accomplishment in his mind is not going

781
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: to be going and winning a national title at a

782
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: place where that is the expectation, but rather chasing one

783
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: at a place where that was thought to be impossible,

784
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: and that would be the ultimate ultimate feat. Mike Chappell

785
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: talking Colts next. Back here on a Monday, and somebody

786
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: actually said it best I thought in terms of the

787
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: theme for today, this text that was sent to me,

788
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 1: and it's totally true, says Jake. The theme of the

789
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: day should be but they are. I U should not

790
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: be good and ranked third in college football, but they are.

791
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: The Colts should not be the number one seed in

792
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: the AFC, but they are.

793
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 3: Now.

794
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,760
Speaker 1: I'll tell you who does not fall into that category,

795
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: because they absolutely should be and were expected to be.

796
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 1: But do we happen to have CORP the breaking news sounder.

797
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 1: If you could please, Rob Blackman will join us coming

798
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: up a little over an hour from now. He is

799
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: the voice of the preseason number one team in the land.

800
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 1: The Purdue boiler Makers are your college basketball preseason number one.

801
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: As for number one in the AFC, I mentioned it,

802
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: it is the Indianapolis Colts at five and one. After

803
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: yesterday's went over the Arizona Cardinals, joining us now as

804
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: he does each and every Monday from CBS four and

805
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: WXA and Fox fifty nine. And by the way, kudos

806
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: in particular to Fox fifty nine and Russ McQuaid yesterday.

807
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: I believe they might have been the only media outlet

808
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: that had the wherewithal to be in position to interview

809
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez yesterday. And they have been on top of

810
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: that story from day one, and that television station has

811
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: been all over that. Mike Chapple, the dean of writers

812
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: for the Colts, joining us now on the Java House,

813
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: Peel and Poor guest Line and Chap Colts the number

814
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: one seed overall. Yesterday was a game that I thought

815
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: the Colts did, Mike, what you expect good teams to do,

816
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: and that is you just find a way to win.

817
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: You know, Jacoby Brissett was efficient for Arizona, but in

818
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: the end, the Colts did what they needed to do

819
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: to win. My question for you would be this, are

820
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: we going to eventually have to address or discuss any

821
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: vulnerabilities defensively for Indianapolis?

822
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 4: Oh, and we have. Their pass rush hasn't been good enough.

823
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 4: They're not getting enough from law to and and Quitty

824
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 4: pay quid. He had two sacks festerday. But the linebackers

825
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 4: are are are good at tackling their liabilities in in coverage,

826
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 4: which which Zaire Franklin he's really really effective. He was

827
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 4: all proh W. He's allowed to do what he does

828
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 4: and when you've got to do more things, not so

829
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 4: much the secondary. It's it's I understand people bitch at

830
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,240
Speaker 4: the moment, and I do. We're up in the press

831
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 4: box just making comments, but they're playing people who wouldn't

832
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 4: be playing that. These guys are like and they're they're

833
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 4: playing their butts off and all this, but but they're

834
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 4: like your sixth or seventh corners. They just are you know,

835
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 4: I mentioned all these guy or I wrote in the

836
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 4: story today of all the people that are out with

837
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 4: Kenny Moore and Jalan Jones and Justin Wadeley. I forgot

838
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 4: Mike Hilton. Hilton, you know he's out, so you know,

839
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 4: and and I don't want to be a battle of apologist.

840
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,760
Speaker 4: I don't, But there is no way that any GM

841
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 4: can provide this the level of depth that covers up

842
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 4: these injuries. Can't do it. And then and then you

843
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 4: lose Mooney Ward for Kranat laud. It's when I saw

844
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 4: the video of he and Drew Ogletree colliding. I flash

845
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 4: back to that. It's like a comedy thing where you

846
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 4: got two ships in the ocean, in this big ocean

847
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 4: and they ran into each other. That just told you

848
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 4: how it was going to be difficult because Mooney war

849
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 4: was going to be on Marv Junior, who ended up

850
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 4: getting hurt. But when you lose arguably your top defensive

851
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 4: player in pregame warm ups, now imagine the scrambling that

852
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 4: goes on. So we've talked about it, and part of

853
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 4: its injury related the linebacker, in my mind is because

854
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 4: as I said, there were like eight things on the

855
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 4: list to do in the off season, and linebackwards one

856
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 4: of them, and that's the one that they can get to. Well,

857
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 4: I'm glad they got to the other seven and this

858
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 4: is the one they did can get to. But the

859
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:47,839
Speaker 4: pass rush bothers me because it's just not it's not consistent.

860
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 4: Brissett just had too much time. Too many times he

861
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 4: escaped a couple of times. Quarterbacks do that, but that

862
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 4: should have been a quarterback that you really smoked, and

863
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 4: they didn't. And they're just not getting enough from the

864
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 4: edge Samson that become I'm not getting on him. He's

865
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,399
Speaker 4: coming back from an Achilles, for crying out loud. But

866
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 4: you need you need more from your two first round

867
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,919
Speaker 4: draft picks, and yeah, pressures and this, that and the other.

868
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 4: I give me some sacks. These guys get paid for sacks.

869
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 4: They do. They need more from it, and it's I

870
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 4: think a lot too is a great athlete, and he

871
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 4: may end up being a really really exceptional player after

872
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 4: six weeks. I don't want him having more interceptions in sacks.

873
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 4: I just don't think that's a good thing.

874
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 1: Chap When you look at Mike Chapel is our guest,

875
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: he's on the Joba house peeling poor guest line. When

876
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: you look at the lineback, like if you look defensively

877
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,919
Speaker 1: yesterday in general, they were let in tackles by Jermaine Pratt,

878
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 1: who had a you know, was an efficient day for him,

879
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: but he also was a guy that was just acquired.

880
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: Is that more so saying hey, what a great signing,

881
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: or is that more so saying that's problematic and it

882
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 1: shows weakness elsewhere.

883
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 4: The ladder the ladder, because remember and keep in mind,

884
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 4: and this isn't throw shade on Jermaine Pratty. He had

885
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 4: eleven tackles for crying out that with like three practices

886
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 4: they had a chance to sign him when the Bengals

887
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 4: cut him whenever, it was six weeks ago or whatever.

888
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 4: And the money I think was probably a little too steep.

889
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 4: It was like four million dollars guaranteed whatever. And they

890
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 4: and as as Chris and Shane liked to do that,

891
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 4: they really wanted to see more from their own guys.

892
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 4: They did. They really, they really believe on they're in

893
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 4: their own guys. Uh but in this case it hasn't

894
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:39,399
Speaker 4: worked out, and they're just susceptible to the coverage. They

895
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 4: just they just are. And uh So there again, what

896
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 4: you're playing guys in positions or number of reps who

897
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 4: normally shouldn't be doing that. And again that's how it

898
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 4: was in the secondary with Jonathan Edwards, an unreppied rookie,

899
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 4: and Chrys Labans who spent a lot of time on

900
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 4: the practice squad, and and Michael or Mackaya Blackman who

901
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 4: was acquired in a trade early. So it's when you

902
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 4: had that it makes it tough and then it makes

903
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 4: things worse on the secondary when you're not pressured to quarterback,

904
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 4: so it was just, yes, they found a way. That's

905
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 4: that's the best way to do any I know people

906
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 4: are saying, with God, look who they've beaten. Well you

907
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 4: be who you play. Yeah, they should have beaten the

908
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 4: Rams and they should have lost at Denver, so things

909
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 4: even out. But that's why I was watching some of

910
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 4: the national shows today and they still Pitty Brewski doesn't

911
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 4: believe in these guys at all. Maybe that's a little

912
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 4: bit of the New England ring. I don't think this

913
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 4: is a super Bowl contender as it as it is,

914
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 4: but once you get in, who knows. But I think

915
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 4: it's I think it's a team that could do something

916
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 4: in the playoffs, whatever something is, you know. But right

917
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 4: now they're first in the FC South, which is which

918
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 4: is step one. It is step one to getting a

919
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 4: home game and getting in and then we'll see. And

920
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 4: the way the rest of the AFC has sort of

921
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 4: just sort of floundered outside of Buffalo and Kansasity is

922
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 4: apparently getting itself back together. In the Chargers, you just

923
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 4: don't know what's there. Miami's is a dumpster fire New

924
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 4: England maybe, but it's right there for them to be

925
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 4: in the thicket of it all the way. The schedule

926
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 4: gets tougher later on. But that's why we've all talked

927
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 4: about this first part of the season. Going into the

928
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 4: game in bertole In with Atlanta. Holy smokes, you've got

929
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:37,359
Speaker 4: a chance to set yourself up for something whatever that's

930
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 4: something is, and that's what they're doing.

931
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: Chap this is and maybe you know, I was gonna say,

932
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: maybe it's not time for this conversation, but I don't

933
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: know that there's ever you know, a good time, bad

934
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: time when it comes talking colts, right, I mean, the

935
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: reality is this, we should celebrate what this team is

936
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: doing there five and one. Daniel Jones has just been exceptional.

937
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: I thought yesterday he showed a lot by you know,

938
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 1: when there are a lot of quarterbacks that if they

939
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 1: throw a pick or a pick six, they will you know,

940
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: he continues to respond, But I'm curious, and I know

941
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 1: that it's it's not his fault at times, it's just

942
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: not But is the Anthony Richardson contractual question starting to

943
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: answer itself just based on the fact that, as I

944
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, he seems to be a magnet to the

945
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: bizarre and to the unfortunate.

946
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 4: And that's sad.

947
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:31,399
Speaker 2: It is.

948
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: But I mean, but at the same time, don't you again,

949
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 1: it's not his fault at all. Right, I mean, it's

950
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 1: a totally bizarre fluke thing. But if I said to you,

951
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: if I stopped, if I literally walked into Lucas Oil

952
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: Stadium yesterday an hour before the game, before any news

953
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: had come out, and said, folks, I'm taking a survey.

954
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 1: A player just had an orbital bone fracture because a

955
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 1: rubber band during stretching snapped and came back and hit

956
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: him right in the eye.

957
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 2: Who is at who? Out of one hundre? People would say,

958
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 2: what's got to be Anthoney Richardson?

959
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 4: Right, I know, I know, and that's too bad. But

960
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 4: but aside from that, take take take that out of

961
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 4: the mix. I I I was I was wrong. I'll say,

962
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 4: I'll say I was wrong. I would have gone with

963
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 4: Richardson coming out of training camp. I really would have,

964
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 4: because I my my, my pea brain thought, they've got

965
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 4: to figure out what they have at the end of

966
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 4: the season. They've got to know what they have in Richardson. Well,

967
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 4: in my mind, as it turns out, they knew what

968
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 4: they had, whether it was at the end of last season,

969
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 4: whether it was some March day when Shane Steichen was

970
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 4: having a brew in the back porch, they decided. He

971
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:47,760
Speaker 4: decided that Jones, for so many reasons, was the right guy.

972
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 4: This is before practices and all that stuff, and that

973
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 4: Richardson wasn't. So you know, I I I think if

974
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 4: this thing continues the way it is and and there

975
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 4: knocking on the playoff door or the division title, whatever, boy,

976
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:05,839
Speaker 4: I think they find a way to go forward with

977
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 4: rich with Jones, and they find a way to move Richardson.

978
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 4: I just I just don't see any pass forward for

979
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 4: Richardson here unless Jones gets hurt in the next couple

980
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 4: of weeks and and and Richardson's you know, eye injuries.

981
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 2: Okay, well he's unavailable. I mean, Chap, do you remember,

982
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 2: as I say, yeah, I mean, do you remember when

983
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 2: Reggie Miller and I'm going back.

984
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 1: Thirty years ago, I realized, yes, yes, but Reggie Miller

985
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: had a similar injury. Now one was listed as a

986
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 1: break and one as a fracture. I you know, I mean,

987
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 1: I'll get Ralph Reefon at some point this week to

988
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: kind of verify or go through that.

989
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 2: But but you know, that injury kept Reggie Miller out

990
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 2: for a while. I mean, this is in and you

991
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 2: feel bad for.

992
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 4: Him, right, I think this keeps Richardson out for two

993
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 4: or three weeks minimum, correct, because you know, keep in mind,

994
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 4: and when you're playing, when you're practicing, you're you're jarring

995
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 4: the body and your eyes and all this. And that's

996
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 4: just got it that that can't be even remotely good

997
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 4: for a healing orbit wone fracture. It can be so

998
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 4: I and I just posted some today. I think they're

999
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 4: going to look for a veteran. And it's not shade

1000
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 4: on Riley Leonard at all, but he was a sixth

1001
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 4: round pick, a developmental guy. Has done everything right so far.

1002
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 4: But are you going to put a five and one

1003
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 4: team that can do some things in the hands of

1004
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 4: a six round draft pick? Now, you're going to try

1005
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 4: to find somebody who, as a veteran, has played, knows

1006
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,439
Speaker 4: what's going on, has no clue what your offensive. That's

1007
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 4: the downside. Took him in stone cold, that worked on

1008
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 4: I mean Joe Flacco did that. Maybe if this happened

1009
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 4: last week, you make a trade with Cleveland and bring

1010
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 4: Joe back here. I don't know, but I looked at

1011
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 4: the list of available quarterbacks and it's not even oh

1012
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 4: really that guy. No, there's none of those guys. So

1013
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 4: but I do think they'll do that, and just to

1014
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 4: be safe, because I didn't notice that Jones is only

1015
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 4: there's only been one season he's not missed a game

1016
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 4: with an injury, and that was in twenty twenty two,

1017
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 4: so you know, he he he tends to get hurt,

1018
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 4: like quarterbacks do, and they've got to have somebody who

1019
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 4: can step in and at least run things competently, if

1020
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 4: that's the right word. I don't know if if they

1021
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 4: can even do that on short notice, but I do

1022
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 4: think they'll have tryouts tomorrow. And I think while I

1023
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 4: was signing on Wednesday or two day, I just do.

1024
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: You know, Chap, here's what's interesting to me about the

1025
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: quarterback position. Mike Chapel is our guest. I'm going to

1026
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 1: go back to one of my really bad analogies here. Okay,

1027
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 1: chap I have never trumble trouble this being I have

1028
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: a ton of my real Yeah, okay, I have my

1029
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 1: entire life. Academically speaking, I couldn't I couldn't get algebra.

1030
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: I just couldn't grasp algebra. That's true of most of

1031
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:00,919
Speaker 1: us that are in the broadcast feshion, by the way,

1032
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: but that's exactly right. But in order to grasp algebra,

1033
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 1: you first have to understand the basics of math, long division, multiplication,

1034
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: and then they all interweave to become algebraic formula. If

1035
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 1: you don't know the basic steps of math, then you're

1036
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: never going to get algebra.

1037
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 2: Okay.

1038
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 1: It seems to me like in the in the offensive scheme,

1039
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: the Colts right now are doing offensively things that we

1040
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 1: have not seen in this town with this franchise, some

1041
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: of it forever. But they are leading the league in scoring,

1042
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 1: They are efficient, they are working it in so many

1043
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: different ways, and Anthony Richardson was capable occasionally of the

1044
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 1: big algebraic type fancy play of like how in the

1045
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 1: world did that just happen, But for the most part

1046
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: it was the basic fundamental that was eluding him. And

1047
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: it feels to me like the reason the Colts offensively

1048
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: are where they are is because Daniel Jones mastered long

1049
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: division and multiplication, and that then allows Shane Stikeen to

1050
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 1: occasionally pop in the algebraic formula to keep people guessing

1051
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 1: but you had to start with the basics. And I

1052
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: think we all were looking at which quarterback was going

1053
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 1: to be the big play guy, and Stikeen went with

1054
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 1: the guy that actually was the basic guy because that's

1055
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: the foundation he wanted to build off of. Does that

1056
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: make any sense?

1057
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 4: And yes, and still giving you some big place.

1058
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 2: That's what I mean. They can mix that in now

1059
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 2: right right.

1060
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 4: It's kind of like when you're in school and in

1061
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 4: your head you can figure out what the answer was,

1062
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 4: so you put down thirty one. Well, they want to

1063
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 4: know why you get to thirty one, And sometimes I

1064
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 4: couldn't do it. In my head, I can tell you

1065
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 4: how I got to it, right, So yeah, I think

1066
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 4: I think you're right. And that's why I say when

1067
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 4: I didn't agree with what Shane Styken did it and

1068
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 4: when and when he kept blaming it and he told us,

1069
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 4: he flat told us idiots, well it it's the free stamp,

1070
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 4: it's operations, it's finding completions and all that stuff. And

1071
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 4: he was telling us in some of our guys, some

1072
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 4: of the press guys got it understood, and I was

1073
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 4: I was that dune from the back room thinking, but

1074
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 4: in it I was looking more long term and he

1075
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 4: was looking short term. And again Chris Baller told us

1076
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 4: this said where it was January, We're gonna bring another veteran,

1077
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 4: and well, does Anthony Richardson have the leg up? We're

1078
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 4: gonna go with the guy that that helps us win games?

1079
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 2: Does that okay?

1080
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: Does this make it chap in the event, let's say

1081
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 1: they go out and they sign now and off the

1082
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 1: beach veteran quarterback to be the backup because Anthony Richardson

1083
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: is unavailable, does this allow for them perhaps to have

1084
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 1: in the event, God forbid, you've got to go to

1085
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: that and play that player. Does the the fact that

1086
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 1: the offense is rooted in simplicity make it easier to

1087
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 1: transfer to a veteran quarterback if you need one to

1088
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 1: spell you for a game or two.

1089
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 4: Well, I'd still rather have Anthony Richardson running my offense.

1090
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 4: If if in three weeks he's ready to go and

1091
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 4: God forbid, Daniel Jones gets hurt. I flipped back to

1092
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 4: Richardson in a heartbeat.

1093
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: Well, I know I'm saying, if Richardson's unavailable and you've

1094
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 1: got to go out and sign whoever, no question, is

1095
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: there not as big a drop off in the cohesiveness

1096
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 1: as we think.

1097
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 4: Probably because again you're gonna you're gonna then you're really

1098
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 4: gonna transition more to the people around the quarterback. Although

1099
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 4: it's gonna be harder to run the ball with Taylor

1100
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 4: when everybody knows that's what you're gonna try to do

1101
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 4: even more than you are now because I'm still waiting

1102
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 4: for he's leading the league in rushing and I'm still

1103
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 4: waiting for his big game. I'm just still waiting for

1104
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 4: him to break out and just go bonkers. But but yeah,

1105
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 4: the guy to bring in, whoever it is, it'll be

1106
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 4: as someone who can run, run the basics and not

1107
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 4: get squarely. And like a perfect example is second half.

1108
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 4: They it was a it was a twenty two yard

1109
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 4: throat to Pierce on the left side that somehow got there,

1110
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 4: somehow got there through three three defenders. And Steichen was

1111
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 4: telling us that during the week that he was talking

1112
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 4: to Jones, and Jones said, you know, if if we

1113
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 4: call this play, which that play and it was supposed

1114
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 4: to go to the right side, and he said, I

1115
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 4: tell you, if they give us this look on defense,

1116
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 4: I'm going to whip around and come back to Pierce.

1117
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 4: And he told Pierce, now listen, if I see that,

1118
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 4: be ready because it's coming to you. And that's what

1119
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 4: he did, and that that's where he's playing chess. And

1120
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 4: maybe other quarterbacks can't do that, but that just shows

1121
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 4: you that this, you know, you always hear about guys

1122
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 4: at first of him last out and doing the homework,

1123
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 4: and we've heard countless story about that's Jones. It's Manning

1124
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 4: esque and Luck ask of what of what they're doing?

1125
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 4: It was funny. Zach Keifer was at the game. I

1126
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 4: was getting on him for being a bandwagon jumper coming

1127
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 4: in in week six when they're winning, but he asked

1128
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 4: Jones about you know, what do you do?

1129
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 3: You know?

1130
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 4: Are you you know, are you one of those guys

1131
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 4: that you know you're locked in once the season starts?

1132
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 4: He said, do you have any hobbies? And he sort

1133
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 4: of said no. He said, most guys don't have hobbies

1134
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 4: during during the season because because you're working, and when

1135
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 4: you're at the office and you're working, you go home

1136
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 4: and you spend time at night. So that that's what

1137
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 4: you want. It's it's not you know, glamorous and all

1138
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 4: this when when remember Manning's the Manning Cave and all

1139
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 4: that there's so much truth well.

1140
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 1: That hey, listen, I mentioned this earlier and I I

1141
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, I could pull up the direct quotes, but

1142
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: to paraphrase it, Tua down in Miami, you know, after

1143
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 1: the Dolphins season has gone awry, he finally just said

1144
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 1: the quiet part out loud. It was like, look, we

1145
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 1: got guys that are not showing up for meetings, we

1146
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: got guys that are late. It's got to be across

1147
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 1: the board, et cetera. And this is the quarterback calling

1148
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 1: out the right for not being on time. And maybe

1149
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 1: it's too late or too late in this case, but

1150
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 1: the point being, that's the stuff you're talking about, right,

1151
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 1: You need that example at the very front of guys

1152
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: falling in line. And it appears as though with this

1153
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 1: roster that's the case. Now, let me ask you this.

1154
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 1: Yesterday there were a number of players that caught passes

1155
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:27,760
Speaker 1: from Daniel Jones. Ady Mitchell was a scratch at the

1156
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 1: beginning of the year. Is this a continuation of the

1157
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 1: discipline or are we starting to see the beginning of

1158
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 1: the end.

1159
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 4: No, well, it's two things, not those two things, but

1160
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 4: it's it's it's say, an extension of the discipline if

1161
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 4: you want to call it that. But it's also a

1162
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,000
Speaker 4: reflection that Alec Pierce was active again.

1163
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 1: Well, I understand, but I mean, you know, Mitchell's been

1164
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:57,439
Speaker 1: on the field in games were you know, Alec Pierce

1165
01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 1: hadn't been heard all year, and there were games where

1166
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce was but.

1167
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 4: But but but but when when Pierce was out there

1168
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 4: and Mitchell was out there, they really had to find

1169
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 4: ways to get Mitchell on the field. One game, he

1170
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 4: was on there for like nine stamps because Pierce, Pierce,

1171
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 4: Hardy comes off the field. He and Pittman are out

1172
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 4: there all the time. So, uh, no, I I think

1173
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 4: it was They're not They're not even remotely ready to

1174
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 4: give up on Adi Mitchell. He's got so much talent.

1175
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 4: He's just but at some point, at some point though,

1176
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 4: it's like.

1177
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 2: Come on, yeah, I see it at some point right

1178
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 2: like he has that like we've been.

1179
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 4: But you see just enough of it the way you

1180
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 4: think you know, maybe, but it's it's the mess up

1181
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 4: since you just had. At some point, the mess ups

1182
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 4: overcome or outweigh the talent. We're not there remotely. I've

1183
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 4: talked to Reggie enough to to know that he believes

1184
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:54,040
Speaker 4: in Mitchell, but he also understands, you know, this is

1185
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 4: the bottom line game. Uh so, so I we were

1186
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 4: talking in the press room, and I really wonder that

1187
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 4: barring injury, although guys get injured, but if Pierce, Pittman

1188
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 4: and Down stay healthy, I don't know when Mitchell gets

1189
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 4: back on the field, I don't know. And and also

1190
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 4: the problem is he doesn't play special teams at all.

1191
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 4: He's never played a special team snap. So to have

1192
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 4: a guy on your roster when when roster spots are

1193
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 4: so precious on game day, and with the idea that well,

1194
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:27,800
Speaker 4: and let's say, I guess there, this guy's not playing

1195
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 4: like your emergency, your backup quarterback. There's two guys aren't

1196
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 4: going to play. So but but I my interesting thing

1197
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 4: I'd like to know, and we won't know except later on,

1198
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 4: is will he will Will Mitchell use this uh being

1199
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 4: a healthy scratch as motivation like, Hey, guys, I belong

1200
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 4: on this team. I deserve it? Or that does he

1201
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 4: does he pout? And and and that's I think that's

1202
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 4: a very valid question. I don't think Reggie will allow

1203
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 4: the he's too much of a test master. I think

1204
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 4: he's a player's coach. But he's also demanding. So that's

1205
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 4: an that's such an interesting one thing.

1206
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 1: I mean, my point being, no matter you know, the

1207
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 1: guy could be Usain Bolt, Carl Lewis and Edwin Moses

1208
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:17,680
Speaker 1: all wrapped into one with Jerry Rice's hands. But if

1209
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: he is buried on the depth chart to the point

1210
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 1: where he is a healthy scratch midway, you know, at

1211
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 1: some point you got to say, okay, then then when

1212
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 1: is it gonna come?

1213
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

1214
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's and we're down that we're way I think

1215
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 4: we're way far away from that. But the whole thing

1216
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 4: is it's a matter of trust. Good old Billy Joelson,

1217
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 4: it's a matter of trust when the coach and in

1218
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:41,280
Speaker 4: the quarterback, when do you because they'll say the right things.

1219
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 4: We trust him. He's working hard on all this. But

1220
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 4: Peyton Manning said, you earn your catches on Sunday by

1221
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 4: what you do in practice. It's a quarterback doesn't doesn't

1222
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:51,680
Speaker 4: trust you. Although this would be a case said you

1223
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 4: don't trust what he does during the game. But if

1224
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 4: if a quarterback doesn't trust you, if a coach doesn't

1225
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 4: trust it's a quarterinat doesn't trust you, then how do

1226
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 4: you get back on the field barring injury, and I

1227
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 4: don't I don't see that path right now. But now,

1228
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 4: will he be inactive the rest the last eleven games?

1229
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 4: I would say no, just because again, guys get hurt.

1230
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 4: But I tell you they played those three receivers almost

1231
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:19,599
Speaker 4: exclusively yesterday. Aston Doodle was on the field for as

1232
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:25,800
Speaker 4: many defensive plays one as offensive plays one. So they go,

1233
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 4: they're using two tight ends a lot. Of course, Tyler

1234
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 4: Warren's sort of almost a receiver.

1235
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 2: He's whatever they want to, you know what I mean.

1236
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 4: He's to watch compairing to Dallas Clark, but he does

1237
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 4: more than Dallas Clark. He just does. God love him.

1238
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 4: Dallas Clark didn't block like this. This Tyler Warren is

1239
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 4: a combination of Jack Doyle and Dallas Clark. You watch

1240
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 4: some of those runs from Taylor and he does Jack

1241
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 4: Doyle things in the line where he's smacking guys around

1242
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:02,519
Speaker 4: h And there's still I'm sure there's still more of

1243
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:06,720
Speaker 4: what they can do. But that when you talk to

1244
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 4: talk to Reggie sometimes and he says, you know, he's

1245
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 4: taking away some some targets from my receivers, which is

1246
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 4: a good thing. It really is. It should open things up.

1247
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 4: But those receivers better understand that there may be one

1248
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:23,560
Speaker 4: or two targets a game that maybe they used to

1249
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,960
Speaker 4: get it goes the to the young tight end.

1250
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 1: Now Tyler Warren is again he's one of the key

1251
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:31,639
Speaker 1: cogs that kind of makes everything float.

1252
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 2: Off of that.

1253
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:35,640
Speaker 1: There was another player another play that I thought had

1254
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 1: a marquee moment that was very telling about what makes

1255
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 1: this Colts team different. I'll get into that just a

1256
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: couple of minutes. Mike Chappell, appreciate the time. As always,

1257
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,720
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you next week. All right, You got

1258
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 1: to be well. Mike Chapel of CBS four and wxin

1259
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 1: Fox fifty nine on the Joba House peeling poor guest line.

1260
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:53,599
Speaker 2: I mentioned it.

1261
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 1: There was one guy one play yesterday that I thought

1262
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,519
Speaker 1: jumped out, and I'm like that right there, that's what

1263
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:01,720
Speaker 1: makes this group a little bit different and why things

1264
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:02,560
Speaker 1: are working.

1265
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:03,600
Speaker 2: As they are. I will tell you that.

1266
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: And I asked your thoughts your words, and six words

1267
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:09,559
Speaker 1: are fewer on this year's cold season. I'll read you

1268
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 1: some of the best of those, and we'll open up

1269
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:13,639
Speaker 1: the phone lines as well. At two, three, nine, ten,

1270
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,320
Speaker 1: seventy even Terry who wants to talk? I you will

1271
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:19,479
Speaker 1: bring it in. It's a loaded Monday here on the fan.

1272
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 1: There was a key first down that the Colts got

1273
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:30,840
Speaker 1: yesterday that I thought really kind of exemplified who and

1274
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 1: what they are in twenty twenty five.

1275
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:36,680
Speaker 2: Not that it hasn't been the case all season.

1276
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:41,599
Speaker 1: Or all, you know, last season in particular about this guy.

1277
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 1: But I'll get into that in a second. But I

1278
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 1: did ask yesterday give me six words or fewer to

1279
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 1: describe your thoughts on the Colts through the twenty twenty

1280
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 1: five season. I do this after each and every game,

1281
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 1: and some of the better answers that I received, and

1282
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 1: there were a ton of them that I got. Okay,

1283
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:08,639
Speaker 1: who's your in? Kentucky? Says offensive? Super Bowl defensive, first

1284
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 1: overall pick. I don't know if that's six words or not.

1285
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:15,719
Speaker 1: I didn't count him up. Tom surprisingly optimistic but readying

1286
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:19,439
Speaker 1: for heartbreak. I think there's a lot of people that

1287
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 1: feel that way. Brian surprisingly fun to watch. I thought

1288
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 1: this was a good one from Purps one six y

1289
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 1: one on the ex post Twitter reclamation quarterback delivers Us Lombardy.

1290
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 1: That might be a little aggressive, but we shall see.

1291
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 1: Right this from Jason ar injuries continue.

1292
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:47,640
Speaker 2: You do feel.

1293
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:53,360
Speaker 1: Bad for Anthony Richardson, but he is just a magnet

1294
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 1: for the bizarre. Doug says, count on liking this season.

1295
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 1: Now that used to be for years it was count

1296
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 1: on losing this Sunday, count on liking this season. This

1297
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:12,240
Speaker 1: one from Grant. We are winning the Super Bowl, Okay.

1298
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 1: I mean at this point they're the number one seed

1299
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 1: in the In the AFC, they're tied with Which is

1300
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:24,600
Speaker 1: the bigger surprise that the Colts are tied for the

1301
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:26,680
Speaker 1: best record in the league, or the fact that they

1302
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:31,599
Speaker 1: are tied with Tampa. Two quarterbacks that are both getting

1303
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:33,720
Speaker 1: second leases on life and making the most of it.

1304
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 1: Obviously in Baker Mayfield and what you are seeing from

1305
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:44,720
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and the Colts. This from Bill their defense

1306
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 1: is offensive. Okay, that's fair. That's fair. There was a

1307
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 1: play where Jonathan Taylor got loose, and in watching it,

1308
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:02,759
Speaker 1: because I'll be honest, I had to watch the game yesterday.

1309
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 2: I had to go back and rewatch it. I was in.

1310
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:09,479
Speaker 1: Denver over the weekend and so I didn't see the game.

1311
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 1: I was following it, and then I went back last

1312
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 1: night and rewatched the game. Which is a good way

1313
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 1: to do it, because obviously you can, I guess when

1314
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:20,920
Speaker 1: you watch it live now in today's day, you can

1315
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:24,240
Speaker 1: sit there and rewind and everything else. But but I

1316
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 1: saw one thing, and I thought, am I seeing what

1317
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:27,679
Speaker 1: I think here?

1318
01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 2: And I'll give Chris Ballard credit.

1319
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:37,400
Speaker 1: Because I think that, and I'm the first to admit

1320
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:39,759
Speaker 1: I was one of them. I was really cynical about

1321
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:43,120
Speaker 1: Ballard and down on him at times because I thought

1322
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:47,799
Speaker 1: he was building a football team in the wrong fashion.

1323
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 1: And it's almost like Chris Ballard just held onto those

1324
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 1: acid washed Lee jeans long enough that eventually they came

1325
01:14:55,920 --> 01:15:02,000
Speaker 1: back in style. But the narrow of the big, bruising

1326
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:04,640
Speaker 1: offensive line and then a running back, I mean, that

1327
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:08,200
Speaker 1: felt like such a mid eighties style of football. But

1328
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 1: what and Tyler Warren changes so many things. But I

1329
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:14,880
Speaker 1: saw a play where they needed a first down and

1330
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:19,200
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor had what normally would be a routine run,

1331
01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 1: but once he started to spring and probably would have

1332
01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: gotten a two or three yard game. Ahead of him

1333
01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 1: was Quentin Nelson blazing a path four years and four

1334
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:35,839
Speaker 1: yards in front of him, and he had one player

1335
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 1: to get past in order to even be able to

1336
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:46,160
Speaker 1: then run behind Quentin Nelson, and there was an opening

1337
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:52,719
Speaker 1: for him because Bordolini had his guy sealed off. Tyler Warren,

1338
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 1: who appears to just love contact, came over and then

1339
01:15:56,360 --> 01:16:01,120
Speaker 1: slid alongside Bordolini to seal off for Taylor. But there

1340
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 1: was one one defensive lineman for Arizona, I can't remember

1341
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 1: which one that was about to basically make the stop.

1342
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:13,760
Speaker 1: It was the last barrier between Jonathan Taylor and then

1343
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 1: getting up behind the comfort of the running wall of

1344
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:20,639
Speaker 1: Quentin Nelson in getting a first down, and that player,

1345
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:23,360
Speaker 1: not to say that Taylor could not have broken that tackle,

1346
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 1: but that player was then sealed off because of a

1347
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:29,679
Speaker 1: flash in at the last second from Michael Pittman Junior.

1348
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:35,679
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman, who has been battling through a back injury

1349
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 1: a year ago, who has been durable, who I think

1350
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:42,760
Speaker 1: that a lot of people thought that his value was

1351
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:47,680
Speaker 1: in simply being some sort of a stretch receiver. But

1352
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior, amongst all of those things, giving himself

1353
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:54,360
Speaker 1: up and sliding over and all of a sudden, this

1354
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 1: running play that you're seeing for Jonathan Taylor was an

1355
01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:03,599
Speaker 1: orchestra of all of these pieces coming together and knowing

1356
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:06,599
Speaker 1: exactly where they needed to be. And it was a

1357
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 1: little thing that turned a little play into a bigger

1358
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:13,599
Speaker 1: play and a chunk play that extended a drive. And

1359
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 1: that's kind of the Shane steichen mantra in the fact

1360
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:21,400
Speaker 1: that in Chris Ballard as well, everything like you kind

1361
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:25,160
Speaker 1: of start from the inside and then expanded outward. And

1362
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:31,320
Speaker 1: that particular play, I thought, showed everybody collectively not worrying

1363
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:34,280
Speaker 1: about who was getting the glitz, the glamour and the

1364
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 1: glory of that play, but rather being where they needed

1365
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 1: to be.

1366
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 2: And if one.

1367
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 1: Person's out of position, that play doesn't work. But everybody

1368
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:46,160
Speaker 1: was exactly where they needed to be, and the cohesiveness

1369
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:49,679
Speaker 1: of them all working together is what made that play

1370
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 1: operate and the Colts extended drive. And that's what this

1371
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 1: team has been all about. It's not unlike what you

1372
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 1: watch out of Indiana on Saturday. I mean you literally

1373
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 1: have in this town right now. You literally have a

1374
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 1: college team and a pro team that are like playing

1375
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:13,280
Speaker 1: mirrored off one another in the same style, and just

1376
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:15,880
Speaker 1: a collection of players that are like, my job on

1377
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:18,799
Speaker 1: this play is to do this, and I'm not worried

1378
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 1: about like who gets the big headline on this play.

1379
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 1: I mentioned Indiana. Terry has been patiently waiting. We're way over,

1380
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna take him anyway, patiently waiting to talk

1381
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 1: AYU football.

1382
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 2: What's up, Terry?

1383
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:32,479
Speaker 6: Hey, Jake, thanks for taking the call.

1384
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:35,479
Speaker 2: Thank you for your patience, by the way, and.

1385
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 6: Sorry for carrying an older subject into the current subject.

1386
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 5: But seth It truly is just unfashionable. How we can

1387
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:47,639
Speaker 5: see where we are so much so that we don't

1388
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:48,719
Speaker 5: really even know how to act.

1389
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 1: You're talking about AU right, Yeah, and that's what's funny, Terry.

1390
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 1: What's funny is this? Now Here's what's funny, Terry. When

1391
01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:58,080
Speaker 1: you say that, I mean I knew that because I

1392
01:18:58,080 --> 01:18:59,800
Speaker 1: can see the screen, or that you were calling in

1393
01:18:59,840 --> 01:19:03,000
Speaker 1: talk about when you call in to say, I can't

1394
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:05,920
Speaker 1: believe we're in this position with this record for this

1395
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:08,719
Speaker 1: football team. And whoever would have guessed that the beauty

1396
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 1: of it is you could have been talking about either

1397
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:11,920
Speaker 1: one of them, the cults?

1398
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:14,719
Speaker 2: Are I you right? But stick with IU? Go ahead?

1399
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1400
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 5: So about three years ago it came to my to ask,

1401
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:26,959
Speaker 5: or to my awareness, that of i U's history with losses,

1402
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:31,240
Speaker 5: you think and so I called in to give you

1403
01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:35,400
Speaker 5: that fact that IU was the losingest Division one football

1404
01:19:35,439 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 5: team in the history of college correct. And do you

1405
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:44,719
Speaker 5: think that, prior to the hire for Signetti that Signetti

1406
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:46,280
Speaker 5: would occasionally.

1407
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:50,640
Speaker 7: Sit around ponder, you know, I'm such a badass. I

1408
01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 7: could take the worst.

1409
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 5: Team in Division one and be a champion. And he

1410
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:56,879
Speaker 5: googled it.

1411
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:03,519
Speaker 1: And what he say, now here's the thing, Terry, is

1412
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 1: the worst thing. Now here's the thing, Terry. I'm going

1413
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 1: to answer that question, and I'm going to do it

1414
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 1: by explaining why exactly you just perfectly led me into

1415
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:17,960
Speaker 1: the segue of where it goes from here. And I

1416
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:22,360
Speaker 1: don't think Signetti googled that, but I think there's something

1417
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:26,560
Speaker 1: else in play that you're onto and I will explain

1418
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 1: exactly what I'm talking about. On the other side, Shane

1419
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 1: Steichen's take on several things from yesterday we will play

1420
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:36,680
Speaker 1: for you coming up and just a little bit including

1421
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:41,840
Speaker 1: that of the quarterback situation and what we know and

1422
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:43,800
Speaker 1: I think we knew this last night. But you know,

1423
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:46,800
Speaker 1: Anthony Richards is going to miss multiple games, not that

1424
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:48,679
Speaker 1: he is playing, but you get what I'm saying there.

1425
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:51,719
Speaker 1: And if you're just joining us, Mike Chapel mentioned earlier

1426
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:53,559
Speaker 1: the fact that he thought that the Colts would go

1427
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 1: out and get themselves a veteran quarterback. Sign one, no

1428
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:01,680
Speaker 1: disrespect to Riley Leonard, but again, backup quarterbacks are like

1429
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:05,200
Speaker 1: donut tires. If you can use them for an exeter two,

1430
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:08,759
Speaker 1: that's cool. If you try to maintain your exact voyage

1431
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:10,760
Speaker 1: on the interstate all the way through with one, then

1432
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,439
Speaker 1: you realize why they are the donut tire or the backup.

1433
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:17,920
Speaker 1: But in terms of Indiana and what Terry mentioned, I'm

1434
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:22,439
Speaker 1: going to get back into this, and I've thought about

1435
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:27,800
Speaker 1: this from several angles, and I realize, you know, the

1436
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:31,960
Speaker 1: immediate association to Kurt Signetti in the Penn State job,

1437
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:36,360
Speaker 1: Penn State parting ways with James Franklin after their loss.

1438
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:39,200
Speaker 1: They have now lost three straight. The loss to Oregon

1439
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:43,639
Speaker 1: at home in overtime is relatively excusable, if you will,

1440
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:46,320
Speaker 1: unless you're Penn State, I guess. But then the other

1441
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:48,400
Speaker 1: two losses, I mean getting blown out at UCLA and

1442
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:51,000
Speaker 1: losing to Northwestern, and enough was enough after twelve years

1443
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:54,599
Speaker 1: James Franklin out. Now, this is a coach that if

1444
01:21:54,640 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 1: you think about it, you know of late was within

1445
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:04,840
Speaker 1: a half of playing for a national championship game in

1446
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:10,560
Speaker 1: a national championship game. But you know, it's all about recency,

1447
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:14,560
Speaker 1: and especially at a place like Penn State. Kurt Signetti

1448
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:21,040
Speaker 1: is a Pennsylvania native. Kurt Signetti has coached at three

1449
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 1: different colleges in the state of Pennsylvania. He played collegiately

1450
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:29,360
Speaker 1: at West Virginia. He grew up in the Pittsburgh area,

1451
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 1: and one would assume that Kurt Signetti growing up whether

1452
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:34,760
Speaker 1: or not he was a Penn State fan growing up,

1453
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that answer, but when

1454
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:42,439
Speaker 1: you grow up in Pennsylvania, it is impossible to not

1455
01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:46,040
Speaker 1: know of the power of the brand of Penn State football.

1456
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:51,400
Speaker 1: And having nothing to do with some of the cloud

1457
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:57,800
Speaker 1: of what has happened at Penn State, the reality is this,

1458
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 1: even if the scandal at Penn State had never happened

1459
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 1: and Joe Paterno had simply retired, the reality is when

1460
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:11,559
Speaker 1: you have a coach that is larger than life. You

1461
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:17,600
Speaker 1: know at Florida you have If you go to Florida,

1462
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:19,720
Speaker 1: are you trying to live up to Urban Meyer or

1463
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:23,360
Speaker 1: are you trying to live up to Steve Spurrier? You know,

1464
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 1: if you go to Alabama, now you obviously are trying

1465
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:28,280
Speaker 1: to live up to Nick Saban, but there's also Bear

1466
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:33,600
Speaker 1: Bryant there. Different schools have different and I realized that

1467
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 1: Indiana from a basketball standpoint, Branch McCracken was a great

1468
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:39,559
Speaker 1: and successful coach and there was a basketball program in

1469
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:42,760
Speaker 1: Indiana of success long before Bob Knight ever stepped foot

1470
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 1: in Bloomington, Indiana. But nonetheless, now from a basketball standpoint, Indiana,

1471
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 1: since Bob Knight's departure, Indiana has yet to ever hire

1472
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:58,559
Speaker 1: a coach that was their first cho Well, I shouldn't

1473
01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:01,400
Speaker 1: say that. Maybe Archie Miller was the one guy they

1474
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:04,280
Speaker 1: went after where they just said we're going after this

1475
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 1: guy and we're gonna get him.

1476
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:06,400
Speaker 2: But when.

1477
01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:11,640
Speaker 1: But outside of that, and that was one that that

1478
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 1: was just a bizarre thing in general, he's like Gerald

1479
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:16,639
Speaker 1: Ford like, it's like this administration you almost forget about.

1480
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:18,040
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, yeah, I forgot about that one.

1481
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 1: But Indiana has had, you know, when they've gone after

1482
01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:27,240
Speaker 1: their big fish higher Brad Stevens, notably, they have not

1483
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:30,640
Speaker 1: been able to bring it in for whatever reason. And

1484
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:32,519
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens is the guy that grew up in Indiana,

1485
01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:34,920
Speaker 1: knew of the power of Indiana basketball, the branding of

1486
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:38,839
Speaker 1: Indiana basketball, coached at a smaller school in Indiana, coached

1487
01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:42,160
Speaker 1: in Indiana, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Right, and

1488
01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:46,080
Speaker 1: with all of that, still and I realized the Boston

1489
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:48,679
Speaker 1: Celtics is a lot different than than where he is, right,

1490
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 1: and so the.

1491
01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 2: But the reality is this.

1492
01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:59,280
Speaker 1: I think Kurt Signetti with Penn State, and I think

1493
01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:04,040
Speaker 1: Penn State fans assume that the lure of Penn State

1494
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 1: is going to immediately bring in like a Signetti. All

1495
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:10,639
Speaker 1: they gotta do is make that phone call and he's

1496
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 1: gonna come. Well, he's making roughly nine at Indiana. Penn

1497
01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 1: State will probably pay up to like fifty. Let's say

1498
01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:17,920
Speaker 1: Penn State says we got a five year, seventy five

1499
01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:20,320
Speaker 1: million dollars deal. First off, I think Matt Ruhle is

1500
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:22,800
Speaker 1: going to be their first choice. He played at Penn State,

1501
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:26,800
Speaker 1: he's tight with the athletic director, he's turned around programs.

1502
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:29,920
Speaker 1: But even if Signetti was their guy, the point that

1503
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:33,840
Speaker 1: Terry makes, I think the challenge and the pride, Kurt

1504
01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:37,720
Speaker 1: Signetti's wired differently. Kurt Signetti is wired in such a

1505
01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:41,599
Speaker 1: way that I don't think he's an easy road guy.

1506
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:46,000
Speaker 1: And what he's done at Indiana is remarkable, and I

1507
01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 1: think he takes pride in the fact that Indiana is

1508
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:55,639
Speaker 1: his He can be Indiana's Joe Paterno, and I think

1509
01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:57,760
Speaker 1: he knows that. And it's for that reason that I

1510
01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:00,000
Speaker 1: don't think that Penn State lures him away. I think

1511
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:02,639
Speaker 1: I think Indiana if you want an explanation on why

1512
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:06,240
Speaker 1: Signetti is not going to end up in Happy Valley,

1513
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:10,960
Speaker 1: he may. But if he doesn't, Indiana fans can take

1514
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:12,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of a sigh or a deep breath

1515
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:14,679
Speaker 1: of looking at it and saying, well, why has Brad

1516
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:20,040
Speaker 1: Stevens not come to Indiana. It's very similar. Big news

1517
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:22,160
Speaker 1: in the AFC South, And we'll let you hear what

1518
01:26:22,240 --> 01:26:32,000
Speaker 1: Shane Steiken had to say yesterday. Next, here's a really

1519
01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:38,439
Speaker 1: good point, really good point texted to me. It would

1520
01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:41,320
Speaker 1: be dumb for Penn State to go after Kurt Signetti.

1521
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:43,760
Speaker 1: He's a lock for the playoffs, meaning they can't touch

1522
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 1: him until late January, which would destroy what recruits they

1523
01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:50,320
Speaker 1: could pick from. That's a really good point as well.

1524
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:54,040
Speaker 1: All Right, yesterday, big win for the Colts they are

1525
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 1: five and one. They are doing historic things in terms

1526
01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:02,439
Speaker 1: of their offense to a level in for a town

1527
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:07,599
Speaker 1: that has been used to seeing great offensive play, you know,

1528
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:11,680
Speaker 1: to see an offense that is clicking on these cylinders

1529
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:16,879
Speaker 1: is still surreal. Because Daniel Jones, I don't think anybody

1530
01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:21,559
Speaker 1: ever would confuse him, obviously with Peyton Manning, right, but

1531
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:28,040
Speaker 1: the efficiency in which they're running is impressive. For example,

1532
01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:30,519
Speaker 1: this from Matt Contier the Colts. The Colts were four

1533
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 1: for four in the red zone against Arizona. It's the

1534
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:36,679
Speaker 1: first time the Colts have recorded back to back games

1535
01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 1: with one red zone efficiency since twenty twenty. The Colts

1536
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:45,000
Speaker 1: have scored one hundred and ninety four points through their

1537
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:48,439
Speaker 1: first six games this season. That is the most for

1538
01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:53,800
Speaker 1: any team during that span in the Indianapolis era. Think

1539
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:56,559
Speaker 1: about that, of all of the great offenses you've seen here,

1540
01:27:56,880 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 1: the great offensive players, they are off to the most

1541
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:07,639
Speaker 1: efficient offensive start in their history since the Mayflowers arrived. Now,

1542
01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:12,720
Speaker 1: if you go back to yesterday, I think there was

1543
01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:15,800
Speaker 1: a microcosm of where the Colts are right now.

1544
01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:16,800
Speaker 2: That was.

1545
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 1: That took place before the ball was even kicked off.

1546
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about the surreal nature of Anthony Richardson

1547
01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 1: in the locker room doing a stretch with you guys

1548
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:33,280
Speaker 1: have all seen it. You know, you put your foot

1549
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:35,040
Speaker 1: on a thing and there's a big rubber band and

1550
01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 1: you're pulling it Upward. I assume that's what he was

1551
01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 1: stretching with, and then all of a sudden it snaps

1552
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:45,280
Speaker 1: and the wooden part of the device comes flying back

1553
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:47,639
Speaker 1: up in the air, hits him in the eye and boom,

1554
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:52,160
Speaker 1: orbital bone fracture. And he is expected to miss multiple games.

1555
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:57,200
Speaker 1: And then you have Shavarius Mooney Ward out on the

1556
01:28:57,240 --> 01:29:02,600
Speaker 1: field before the game working out and Drew Ogletree is

1557
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:05,320
Speaker 1: running it out for getting himself formed up as a

1558
01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:08,480
Speaker 1: tight end. The two collide and Ward, who was assigned

1559
01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:13,360
Speaker 1: essentially one would assume to just shadow Marvin Harrison Junior

1560
01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 1: the entire game. He also doesn't make it out because

1561
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:19,799
Speaker 1: he's got a concussion before the game. Shane Steichen yesterday

1562
01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:22,519
Speaker 1: talked about the surreal nature of the injuries before the

1563
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 1: game even began.

1564
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:26,000
Speaker 8: It was very interesting, to say the least.

1565
01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:28,080
Speaker 2: It was.

1566
01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:30,920
Speaker 8: It was we had to kind of rally the troops

1567
01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:34,280
Speaker 8: there in the locker room and get get our get

1568
01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:37,240
Speaker 8: us back into focus, and uh, I thought our guys

1569
01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:40,519
Speaker 8: did that the right way and just obviously hope ar

1570
01:29:40,640 --> 01:29:45,160
Speaker 8: is good and and Mooney's good. Yeah, that was that

1571
01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:47,120
Speaker 8: was just trying to get the guys back on focus.

1572
01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:54,519
Speaker 1: That personifies this season because what has this year been

1573
01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:57,840
Speaker 1: about for the Colts. It's been about trying to refocus,

1574
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:04,439
Speaker 1: get everybody gathered together and not pay attention to the

1575
01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:08,160
Speaker 1: external noise and just get back down to the brass tacks.

1576
01:30:08,640 --> 01:30:12,679
Speaker 1: And in that game yesterday against Arizona, you have those

1577
01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:16,559
Speaker 1: two things happening, the Richardson injury happening in the locker room,

1578
01:30:16,880 --> 01:30:19,560
Speaker 1: the Ward injury happening, and you know people coming in

1579
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:21,080
Speaker 1: and going did you hear what just happened out on

1580
01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:23,160
Speaker 1: the field for those that hadn't gone out yet, and

1581
01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:27,040
Speaker 1: you've got to get everybody together and say, okay, guys,

1582
01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:31,320
Speaker 1: we've got to kind of calm down here and reset

1583
01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:34,040
Speaker 1: the deck. We've got to just let's just focus on

1584
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:38,640
Speaker 1: what's going on. And that's what this team has been about,

1585
01:30:39,439 --> 01:30:43,400
Speaker 1: because this time of year ago, you're talking about the

1586
01:30:43,479 --> 01:30:47,800
Speaker 1: quarterback helmet tapping and guys, you know who's going to

1587
01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:51,880
Speaker 1: be the quarterback and what's going on in terms of

1588
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:55,040
Speaker 1: are the running back who had held himself out, and

1589
01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:57,799
Speaker 1: meetings and buses and all kinds of stuff, all kinds.

1590
01:30:57,560 --> 01:30:58,400
Speaker 2: Of noise going on.

1591
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:04,320
Speaker 1: This entire year has been about just kind of settling

1592
01:31:04,400 --> 01:31:08,400
Speaker 1: things down, and I think a part of that comes

1593
01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:12,519
Speaker 1: down to Daniel Jones and the selection of Daniel Jones

1594
01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:17,240
Speaker 1: at quarterback, because when you look at the way he

1595
01:31:17,280 --> 01:31:22,120
Speaker 1: played yesterday, again microcosm Jones when he throws a pick,

1596
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:26,120
Speaker 1: and we saw this in Los Angeles against the Rams.

1597
01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:28,479
Speaker 1: There are a lot of quarterbacks that when they throw

1598
01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:31,280
Speaker 1: an interception, it can derail the best of the best.

1599
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:34,160
Speaker 1: It can happen to that, it can derail the game

1600
01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:38,040
Speaker 1: and things can unravel very quickly. That was not the

1601
01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:42,559
Speaker 1: case with Daniel Jones, who continues to play at this

1602
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:46,840
Speaker 1: point through six games at an MVP level. And Shane

1603
01:31:46,840 --> 01:31:50,680
Speaker 1: Stiken also has noticed just a professional composure and the

1604
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:57,000
Speaker 1: overall placid and maintaining without any sort of nerve getting

1605
01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:59,040
Speaker 1: into it emotion of Daniel Jones.

1606
01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:01,800
Speaker 8: He's pretty calm. I think he's got laser focus, he's

1607
01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:05,720
Speaker 8: locked in. I think it's it's his preparation. You know

1608
01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:07,200
Speaker 8: a lot of you guys have heard me say that,

1609
01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:09,280
Speaker 8: but his preparation that he puts in during the week,

1610
01:32:09,400 --> 01:32:11,920
Speaker 8: Like when you're prepared like the way he does, right,

1611
01:32:11,960 --> 01:32:13,760
Speaker 8: you don't blink like you go out and you have

1612
01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:16,040
Speaker 8: confidence in your ability because you know you put in

1613
01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:18,600
Speaker 8: the work like he does. And when you put in

1614
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:20,639
Speaker 8: the work like that and you go execute like he's

1615
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:22,880
Speaker 8: been doing and the guys are making plays around him

1616
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:25,519
Speaker 8: and the O line's blocking, it's fun as a coach

1617
01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:25,880
Speaker 8: to watch.

1618
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:29,400
Speaker 1: And again, what's fun is seeing your team atop the

1619
01:32:29,439 --> 01:32:32,600
Speaker 1: AFC South A Division. We're already the first coaching casualty

1620
01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:36,120
Speaker 1: has taken place because Corbyn, if I'm not mistaken, we

1621
01:32:36,280 --> 01:32:38,240
Speaker 1: just found out in the last couple of minutes that

1622
01:32:38,280 --> 01:32:41,600
Speaker 1: there has been a change made in Nashville, correct, that

1623
01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 1: is right, and that change.

1624
01:32:44,040 --> 01:32:47,840
Speaker 2: Would be Ryan Callahan is out as the Tennessee Titans,

1625
01:32:47,840 --> 01:32:48,200
Speaker 2: said coach.

1626
01:32:48,280 --> 01:32:51,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so the Titans already and again, I mean nobody

1627
01:32:51,960 --> 01:32:54,600
Speaker 1: was expecting Tennessee this year to do really anything. But

1628
01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:58,280
Speaker 1: what do you have there? You have a rookie quarterback

1629
01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:02,559
Speaker 1: in cam Ward. You have of instability in the way

1630
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:04,439
Speaker 1: that they're playing now all of a sudden and so

1631
01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:08,799
Speaker 1: much so much of a young quarterback in the development

1632
01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:11,040
Speaker 1: of one is putting them in the right position, having

1633
01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:14,120
Speaker 1: the right things around them. And now Tennessee finds themselves.

1634
01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:19,120
Speaker 1: You know, look no further than Jacksonville and Trevor Lawrence,

1635
01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:21,080
Speaker 1: who had all the tools coming in. He's got Urban

1636
01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:23,760
Speaker 1: Meyer and they make that coaching change. It is so

1637
01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:28,040
Speaker 1: important to get the right stability around a young player,

1638
01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:32,800
Speaker 1: and the Colts now have that in Jones. But you

1639
01:33:32,880 --> 01:33:35,640
Speaker 1: wonder with Daniel Jones, go back to his time in

1640
01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:40,439
Speaker 1: New York, when Daniel Jones was in New York and

1641
01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:46,720
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones was the quarterback for the Giants and they

1642
01:33:46,720 --> 01:33:49,080
Speaker 1: get rid of Saquon Barkley and all of a sudden,

1643
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:50,880
Speaker 1: they're just as like turmoil in New York and he

1644
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:52,880
Speaker 1: can't get any footing. And then you begin to wonder,

1645
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:55,120
Speaker 1: is it the franchise, is it the coaching is at

1646
01:33:55,160 --> 01:33:58,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback, whatever it may be. And Jones and I

1647
01:33:58,800 --> 01:34:02,120
Speaker 1: think that we and ours think to ourselves, this is

1648
01:34:02,120 --> 01:34:04,800
Speaker 1: a guy that went straight from a bad situation in

1649
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:08,040
Speaker 1: New York, came into one in Indianapolis. It seems to

1650
01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:10,840
Speaker 1: be a good fit. They've got tons of weapons around him,

1651
01:34:11,120 --> 01:34:14,559
Speaker 1: They've got a very good offensive line, Tyler Warren is

1652
01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:17,120
Speaker 1: a centerpiece in terms of what they want to do offensively.

1653
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:21,800
Speaker 1: But we forget Daniel Jones in the intermediary did have

1654
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:25,200
Speaker 1: a stop in Minnesota as well, in watching the Vikings

1655
01:34:25,240 --> 01:34:27,880
Speaker 1: a year ago and being there, and I think that

1656
01:34:27,920 --> 01:34:31,680
Speaker 1: there is part of what he saw in Minneapolis that

1657
01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:34,120
Speaker 1: transferred to Indianapolis, just the.

1658
01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:38,400
Speaker 9: Level of detail that they operated under. I think, you know,

1659
01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:42,640
Speaker 9: just so so specific about you know, what looks were

1660
01:34:42,640 --> 01:34:45,320
Speaker 9: getting this week, Where's the answer? How do we recognize it?

1661
01:34:46,640 --> 01:34:48,120
Speaker 9: You know, how do we walk through it, how do

1662
01:34:48,200 --> 01:34:52,959
Speaker 9: we prepare to see it? You know, having quick answers

1663
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:55,559
Speaker 9: on what if this happens, what if that happens. I mean,

1664
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:58,439
Speaker 9: all the all the situations that could come up in

1665
01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:03,280
Speaker 9: a game. You know, they were you know, Ko, Grant,

1666
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:06,759
Speaker 9: Josh and then Sam and all the quarterbacks were constantly

1667
01:35:06,840 --> 01:35:10,280
Speaker 9: quizzing each other and checking and making sure that they're

1668
01:35:10,320 --> 01:35:12,000
Speaker 9: ready to go for whatever the defense could do.

1669
01:35:13,120 --> 01:35:17,599
Speaker 1: And again, the most important part of that play again

1670
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:19,840
Speaker 1: for me, Corbyn, the very first thing he said the

1671
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:23,160
Speaker 1: first three seconds of this sound clip of Daniel Jones

1672
01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:27,040
Speaker 1: talking about what he witnessed in Minnesota, just the level.

1673
01:35:26,840 --> 01:35:30,760
Speaker 9: Of detail that they operated under I think you know

1674
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:35,000
Speaker 9: just so so specific about you know what looks we're

1675
01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:36,360
Speaker 9: getting this week, whereas.

1676
01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:42,120
Speaker 1: They go right there the attention to detail. I don't

1677
01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:44,800
Speaker 1: know is he did he not have that in New York?

1678
01:35:44,840 --> 01:35:46,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, But.

1679
01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:53,639
Speaker 1: This simply is working in terms of the relationship. Whether

1680
01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:57,000
Speaker 1: or not Daniel Jones learned that on the job, whether

1681
01:35:57,080 --> 01:35:59,200
Speaker 1: or not Daniel Jones has always had that and didn't

1682
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:03,280
Speaker 1: have it about himself I mean, and didn't have it

1683
01:36:03,360 --> 01:36:08,080
Speaker 1: in New York. I don't know, But I mentioned this

1684
01:36:08,280 --> 01:36:19,040
Speaker 1: all the time. Sometimes there is more to it than

1685
01:36:19,080 --> 01:36:24,759
Speaker 1: what we realize on it. And when Shane Steiken grabbed

1686
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:29,040
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones as his starting quarterback, I think there is

1687
01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:31,360
Speaker 1: more to it than in the time we knew.

1688
01:36:32,400 --> 01:36:35,599
Speaker 2: The first being do we know.

1689
01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:40,439
Speaker 1: When Anthony Richardson was handed the keys as a young player,

1690
01:36:42,920 --> 01:36:45,879
Speaker 1: that Shane Stiken made that decision, or that Chris Ballard

1691
01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:48,679
Speaker 1: even made that decision, or was there a mandate there?

1692
01:36:49,640 --> 01:36:51,599
Speaker 1: And we can look back now and say that that

1693
01:36:51,680 --> 01:36:55,439
Speaker 1: probably was premature because what you did was you handed

1694
01:36:55,479 --> 01:36:58,200
Speaker 1: the keys and you had in the driver's seat a

1695
01:36:58,320 --> 01:37:00,920
Speaker 1: player that a no fault of his, didn't have the

1696
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:06,599
Speaker 1: experience of the maturity to understand attention to detail, and

1697
01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:10,040
Speaker 1: when they tried to send the message of attention to detail,

1698
01:37:12,080 --> 01:37:18,439
Speaker 1: was that fully supported and backed up. And then when

1699
01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:23,360
Speaker 1: Shane Steiken announced Daniel Jones as the starter, I think

1700
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:26,679
Speaker 1: there were a lot of us, myself included that thought

1701
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:29,760
Speaker 1: perhaps that was simply another wake up call to try

1702
01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:34,160
Speaker 1: to get Anthony Richardson going, when in reality what it

1703
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:37,840
Speaker 1: was was Shane Steiken was looking at this football team

1704
01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:41,680
Speaker 1: and at this roster and at the new additions and

1705
01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:44,320
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren and everything else, and he was saying, the

1706
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:51,519
Speaker 1: missing ingredient here isn't even necessarily the making the immediate throw,

1707
01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:56,439
Speaker 1: making the layups, being able to go through all the

1708
01:37:56,439 --> 01:38:01,200
Speaker 1: progressions and reads. The missing ingredient here is the attention

1709
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:04,600
Speaker 1: to every detail and the understanding of the importance of that,

1710
01:38:05,120 --> 01:38:08,080
Speaker 1: of being able to always have the right play, how

1711
01:38:08,120 --> 01:38:10,960
Speaker 1: to get out of a bad play, how to turn

1712
01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:14,599
Speaker 1: a bad play into a at least we got by

1713
01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:19,400
Speaker 1: on second down and didn't lose five yards play. And

1714
01:38:19,439 --> 01:38:22,000
Speaker 1: I think that he was able to see that that

1715
01:38:22,200 --> 01:38:26,280
Speaker 1: existed within Daniel Jones, partially because of the journey that

1716
01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:30,880
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones has been on, and it absolutely is working now.

1717
01:38:31,400 --> 01:38:34,640
Speaker 1: And what is amazing to me is the fact that

1718
01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:38,400
Speaker 1: we have gone from the beginning of the year looking

1719
01:38:38,439 --> 01:38:41,640
Speaker 1: at the schedule and trying to figure out exactly what

1720
01:38:41,720 --> 01:38:44,240
Speaker 1: the Colts record was going to be by figuring out

1721
01:38:44,240 --> 01:38:46,720
Speaker 1: which games they could win, and now you look at

1722
01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:50,160
Speaker 1: it and yeah, there's a little bit of a you know,

1723
01:38:50,280 --> 01:38:54,879
Speaker 1: obviously a danger and looking at it and a boredom

1724
01:38:54,920 --> 01:38:57,240
Speaker 1: of looking at it and going, Okay, let's do schedule

1725
01:38:57,240 --> 01:39:00,160
Speaker 1: predictions and record predictions whatever else. But when you look

1726
01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:01,479
Speaker 1: at it now, you start to look at it and

1727
01:39:01,560 --> 01:39:05,800
Speaker 1: you go, where are the loss is gonna come? I mean,

1728
01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:08,320
Speaker 1: we're starting to now through six games, figure out who's

1729
01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:12,280
Speaker 1: good and who's not. And when you look at it, Okay,

1730
01:39:12,320 --> 01:39:15,080
Speaker 1: there's a challenge this week against the Chargers, but is

1731
01:39:15,120 --> 01:39:18,080
Speaker 1: there because their old line has not been great the Colts.

1732
01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:20,120
Speaker 1: The one thing the Colts, if there is a deficiency,

1733
01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:25,799
Speaker 1: they're not getting to opposing quarterbacks with much frequency. But nonetheless, okay,

1734
01:39:26,200 --> 01:39:30,200
Speaker 1: nonetheless the offensive line for the Chargers is not great.

1735
01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:32,680
Speaker 1: You can get to Justin Herbert and interrupt him a

1736
01:39:32,720 --> 01:39:37,120
Speaker 1: little bit. Then you go to Tennessee, which we just

1737
01:39:37,160 --> 01:39:40,479
Speaker 1: talked about, is now well, Tennessee actually comes here, but

1738
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you get Tennessee at home. They're a complete

1739
01:39:45,160 --> 01:39:47,400
Speaker 1: dumpster fire. They're looking for a new head coach, they

1740
01:39:47,439 --> 01:39:52,800
Speaker 1: got a rookie quarterback. It's a disaster, right Atlanta, Well,

1741
01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:56,200
Speaker 1: you got Pittsburgh. And Pittsburgh's another one that it's like, are.

1742
01:39:56,080 --> 01:40:00,960
Speaker 2: The Steelers good? I don't know. Oh, the Steelers good.

1743
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:03,360
Speaker 2: They must be because look at them. They're leading their division.

1744
01:40:04,280 --> 01:40:07,280
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is not necessarily like you know, fifteen year

1745
01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:12,120
Speaker 2: ago Aaron Rodgers. But he's playing pretty well. DK Metcalf

1746
01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:16,920
Speaker 2: is doing some DK Metcalf things at times. But then

1747
01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:19,439
Speaker 2: after that, who jumps out at you? Kansas City? Okay?

1748
01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:25,000
Speaker 2: Does San Francisco at home? Scary at this point? Okay?

1749
01:40:25,040 --> 01:40:29,879
Speaker 2: And then I mean lo and behold.

1750
01:40:30,040 --> 01:40:32,280
Speaker 1: They are the number one seed in the AFC, and

1751
01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:36,639
Speaker 1: they may well be holding onto that for a while,

1752
01:40:36,840 --> 01:40:42,719
Speaker 1: so long as they stay healthy and the Colts are playing.

1753
01:40:43,040 --> 01:40:50,960
Speaker 1: And by the way, I was incorrect earlier, I apologize. Yes,

1754
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:53,080
Speaker 1: Purdue is right number one. It is not Rob Blackman

1755
01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:54,920
Speaker 1: that is joining us later in the program, coming up

1756
01:40:54,960 --> 01:40:56,800
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes from now. But we're going inside the

1757
01:40:56,800 --> 01:41:00,800
Speaker 1: Colts locker room. Correct, Corbyn is right. Would you like

1758
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:03,600
Speaker 1: to embellish on that or elaborate?

1759
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 2: I should say, Makaile Blackman is going to join us

1760
01:41:06,320 --> 01:41:07,040
Speaker 2: at two thirty.

1761
01:41:07,080 --> 01:41:09,320
Speaker 1: Jai okay, Makai Blackman joining us bottom of the hour,

1762
01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:13,120
Speaker 1: So we'll get a better glimpse into the mood, the

1763
01:41:13,160 --> 01:41:16,920
Speaker 1: atmosphere of the Colts in general. But the thing being

1764
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:22,400
Speaker 1: here the Colts. To me, there are like two parallel

1765
01:41:22,439 --> 01:41:25,639
Speaker 1: stories right now in Indiana when it comes to football.

1766
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:28,120
Speaker 1: One is the Colts and the other's I you, because

1767
01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:32,040
Speaker 1: what Indiana did over the weekend at Oregon was.

1768
01:41:33,960 --> 01:41:34,639
Speaker 2: That was.

1769
01:41:37,160 --> 01:41:42,720
Speaker 1: Indiana right now. If the Indianapolis Colts are the surprising

1770
01:41:42,800 --> 01:41:45,760
Speaker 1: number one seed in the AFC, the reality is this,

1771
01:41:45,960 --> 01:41:49,479
Speaker 1: the Indiana Hoosiers of Kurt Signetti may well be the

1772
01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:52,120
Speaker 1: best team in college football. They might know, I know

1773
01:41:52,160 --> 01:41:55,000
Speaker 1: the ranked third, and I know Miami's got an impressive

1774
01:41:55,040 --> 01:41:58,400
Speaker 1: win winning at home over Notre Dame, and Miami Miami's

1775
01:41:58,439 --> 01:42:02,559
Speaker 1: been is very, very good, and Ohio State is obviously elite.

1776
01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:06,360
Speaker 1: Ohio State's offense is as good as anybody. Ohio State

1777
01:42:06,439 --> 01:42:09,200
Speaker 1: defensively in the red zone is as good as anybody.

1778
01:42:09,240 --> 01:42:12,200
Speaker 1: I get it. But right now in terms of body

1779
01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:15,840
Speaker 1: of work. The most impressive college football win of the

1780
01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:20,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five season belongs to the Indiana Hoosiers. Indiana

1781
01:42:20,200 --> 01:42:24,200
Speaker 1: going in and winning at Oregon, and not just winning,

1782
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:28,800
Speaker 1: but doing it in the same way as kind of

1783
01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:33,560
Speaker 1: the Colts have won. Of precision. Like Daniel Jones was

1784
01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:37,120
Speaker 1: talking about, you could take sound clips of the Colts

1785
01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:40,200
Speaker 1: talking about their approach to games, of the Colts talking

1786
01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:42,880
Speaker 1: about what they do over the course of games. You

1787
01:42:42,920 --> 01:42:45,599
Speaker 1: could take those clips and say that it's an Indiana

1788
01:42:45,600 --> 01:42:49,000
Speaker 1: football player talking about IU and you would say that's yeah,

1789
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:52,559
Speaker 1: that's right, because they're winning in similar fashion. They're going

1790
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:56,760
Speaker 1: out the precise they are controlling lines of scrimmage, they're

1791
01:42:56,760 --> 01:43:00,400
Speaker 1: controlling in the trenches. And in Indiana's case, what Indiana

1792
01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:03,880
Speaker 1: did to me that was so impressive was Indiana went

1793
01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:10,519
Speaker 1: in and they out pizzazzed Oregon. Indiana flew to the football.

1794
01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:15,120
Speaker 1: Indiana was faster than Oregon. Indiana was more aggressive than Oregon.

1795
01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:20,920
Speaker 1: Indiana's linebackers were more tenacious than Oregon's. Indiana ran and

1796
01:43:21,040 --> 01:43:25,679
Speaker 1: punched between the tackles more than Oregon. Indiana's quarterback when

1797
01:43:25,840 --> 01:43:29,600
Speaker 1: needed to be so was more precise than Oregons, and

1798
01:43:29,680 --> 01:43:33,960
Speaker 1: Oregon's is very good. But they went in to that

1799
01:43:34,160 --> 01:43:37,840
Speaker 1: atmosphere where so many teams go in and struggle, and

1800
01:43:37,880 --> 01:43:41,000
Speaker 1: they went in against a team that has been as

1801
01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:44,800
Speaker 1: much style as anybody in college football. But they've got

1802
01:43:44,880 --> 01:43:47,439
Speaker 1: substance to back it up. Does Oregon, even though they

1803
01:43:47,439 --> 01:43:50,840
Speaker 1: have not won a national title. They've been right there

1804
01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:54,160
Speaker 1: in the mix for a while now. But Oregon is

1805
01:43:54,280 --> 01:43:59,200
Speaker 1: all about the Nike money, the glitz, the glamour, all

1806
01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:03,840
Speaker 1: of it. The duck with his fancy sign making fun

1807
01:44:03,840 --> 01:44:04,679
Speaker 1: of the Indy five hundred.

1808
01:44:04,680 --> 01:44:08,799
Speaker 2: I thought it was funny, actually, But with all.

1809
01:44:08,640 --> 01:44:18,840
Speaker 1: Of that, it was Indiana, nondescript, non sexy, efficient Indiana

1810
01:44:19,200 --> 01:44:25,240
Speaker 1: that went into Oregon and controlled the latter part of

1811
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:28,400
Speaker 1: that game. And I thought you could tell and listen

1812
01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:34,040
Speaker 1: when when Indiana had to go they had multiple drives

1813
01:44:34,120 --> 01:44:37,599
Speaker 1: in that game. Did Indiana in a in a raucous,

1814
01:44:37,680 --> 01:44:42,120
Speaker 1: hostile environment where they responded And Mendoza showed the kind

1815
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:45,839
Speaker 1: of composure that has him right there in the argument

1816
01:44:45,880 --> 01:44:51,799
Speaker 1: in the discussion for the Heisman, And I said earlier,

1817
01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:56,400
Speaker 1: I thought the play of the game in that game

1818
01:44:56,520 --> 01:45:00,519
Speaker 1: in Eugene came and I think it was in the

1819
01:45:00,840 --> 01:45:06,240
Speaker 1: either late first or early second quarter. Mendoza looks to

1820
01:45:06,280 --> 01:45:10,360
Speaker 1: the side they need a first down. He completes it

1821
01:45:10,400 --> 01:45:14,080
Speaker 1: to Cooper, who makes an unbelievable one handed catch. I

1822
01:45:14,080 --> 01:45:16,280
Speaker 1: mean it was a great catch. The one handed nature

1823
01:45:16,320 --> 01:45:19,439
Speaker 1: of the catch alone was impressive. But he makes that

1824
01:45:19,479 --> 01:45:23,960
Speaker 1: one handed catch and then and this is where Indiana

1825
01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:29,439
Speaker 1: is different. It's what makes Daniel Jones and what he

1826
01:45:29,479 --> 01:45:32,800
Speaker 1: said about what he learned in Minnesota different. And it's

1827
01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:37,440
Speaker 1: what makes what the Colts are doing translatable and transferable

1828
01:45:37,439 --> 01:45:41,680
Speaker 1: to what Indiana's doing. Omar Cooper Junior makes this unbelievable

1829
01:45:41,720 --> 01:45:46,680
Speaker 1: one handed catch. But then he comes down. He's right

1830
01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:50,080
Speaker 1: on the sideline and he knows he needs like three

1831
01:45:50,160 --> 01:45:53,439
Speaker 1: or four more yards to get the first down, so

1832
01:45:53,560 --> 01:45:56,600
Speaker 1: he makes the one handed catch. He comes down, he

1833
01:45:56,720 --> 01:46:00,880
Speaker 1: makes a spin move, gets an extra dive and gets

1834
01:46:00,880 --> 01:46:04,479
Speaker 1: the first down and keeps the drive going. And it's

1835
01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:11,719
Speaker 1: that attention to detail, It's that awareness, it's that vision

1836
01:46:13,320 --> 01:46:17,559
Speaker 1: that is different than most teams. And that comes down

1837
01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:21,920
Speaker 1: to preparation, that comes down to dedication, that comes down

1838
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:25,760
Speaker 1: to coaching, and that comes down to a brand and

1839
01:46:25,840 --> 01:46:30,600
Speaker 1: a mantra that is why Indiana two years ago was

1840
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:33,759
Speaker 1: doing finger snaps and singing fight songs at a whisper

1841
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:40,200
Speaker 1: to celebrate a four overtime win over Akron. And now

1842
01:46:40,439 --> 01:46:43,720
Speaker 1: they have the highest rating ranking in the history of

1843
01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:49,080
Speaker 1: the program. And it's turned around that quickly. And it's

1844
01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:51,760
Speaker 1: the best story right now in college football, and it

1845
01:46:51,880 --> 01:46:55,599
Speaker 1: might be the best story in Indianapolis sports. And that's

1846
01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:58,439
Speaker 1: with the professional sports team, one of their players, of

1847
01:46:58,479 --> 01:47:00,280
Speaker 1: which is going to join US an under ten. That's

1848
01:47:01,080 --> 01:47:06,879
Speaker 1: it comes with that that the I mean it, Eclip

1849
01:47:06,880 --> 01:47:08,679
Speaker 1: says the fact that the Colts might be the best

1850
01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:11,599
Speaker 1: team right now in the NFL, and the best team

1851
01:47:11,640 --> 01:47:14,519
Speaker 1: in college football may well be the Indiana Fight and Hoosiers.

1852
01:47:14,760 --> 01:47:16,720
Speaker 1: John joins us on the program at two through nine,

1853
01:47:16,760 --> 01:47:17,840
Speaker 1: ten seventy. What's up, John?

1854
01:47:18,680 --> 01:47:23,000
Speaker 7: Hey, there, you know I heard something interesting. New Heisl

1855
01:47:24,160 --> 01:47:27,880
Speaker 7: CBS Sports was at the Oregon Indiana game. In postgame,

1856
01:47:28,120 --> 01:47:33,080
Speaker 7: they interviewed Signetti and new Heisl asked Signetti, what did

1857
01:47:33,080 --> 01:47:37,000
Speaker 7: he tell Mendoza when he threw that pick six? And

1858
01:47:37,040 --> 01:47:39,800
Speaker 7: Signetti said, I went up to him and I asked

1859
01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:42,720
Speaker 7: him if he was having fun. And I think that

1860
01:47:42,840 --> 01:47:46,839
Speaker 7: tells a lot about the coach he realized at twenty

1861
01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:50,400
Speaker 7: to twenty he needed more from Mendoza. He needed him

1862
01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:53,839
Speaker 7: not to wilt and he needed to do He needed

1863
01:47:53,920 --> 01:47:56,640
Speaker 7: him to perform for the remainder of the game, and

1864
01:47:56,680 --> 01:47:58,639
Speaker 7: he asked him if he was having fun.

1865
01:48:00,320 --> 01:48:04,519
Speaker 1: I just think, John, and we don't know, right. We've

1866
01:48:04,520 --> 01:48:07,120
Speaker 1: been able to watch Kurt Signetti here for what nineteen

1867
01:48:07,160 --> 01:48:10,280
Speaker 1: games in Indiana, and anybody that says that they watched

1868
01:48:10,360 --> 01:48:12,439
Speaker 1: him game in and game out at James Madison, I mean,

1869
01:48:12,680 --> 01:48:14,960
Speaker 1: did anybody in Indiana really do that? So we're still

1870
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:17,639
Speaker 1: getting to know him, but so too are his players,

1871
01:48:17,720 --> 01:48:20,960
Speaker 1: probably to an extent. But he seems to always know

1872
01:48:21,080 --> 01:48:26,560
Speaker 1: which button to push, right, And that's John. That's the

1873
01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:29,600
Speaker 1: key to it, right, is there's nothing about Signetti is

1874
01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:32,439
Speaker 1: enigmatic because when you look at him, he didn't look

1875
01:48:32,479 --> 01:48:36,040
Speaker 1: like the in your face Lombardi tile type coach, right,

1876
01:48:37,560 --> 01:48:43,639
Speaker 1: But from a scheme standpoint, a belief standpoint, in every

1877
01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:46,120
Speaker 1: area of it, so far, he has been able to

1878
01:48:46,160 --> 01:48:49,439
Speaker 1: push every button. And I think he loves the challenge.

1879
01:48:49,439 --> 01:48:52,800
Speaker 1: I think he's a challenge guy. He challenged Mendoza right there.

1880
01:48:52,960 --> 01:48:55,080
Speaker 1: I think he loves the challenge. I think he also

1881
01:48:55,280 --> 01:48:59,600
Speaker 1: loves the challenge of maintaining what he's built at Indiana,

1882
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:02,000
Speaker 1: and his name's going to be circled elsewhere, and I

1883
01:49:02,040 --> 01:49:05,400
Speaker 1: don't think he has any interest in it. I think

1884
01:49:05,400 --> 01:49:07,719
Speaker 1: he's the long term guy in Indiana and I'm telling

1885
01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:09,600
Speaker 1: you right now, they may be the best team in

1886
01:49:09,600 --> 01:49:12,320
Speaker 1: college football and he did it. Is one of the

1887
01:49:12,320 --> 01:49:18,040
Speaker 1: most remarkable stories that we've seen in college football period period.

1888
01:49:19,960 --> 01:49:22,160
Speaker 1: And by the way, speaking of rankings, perdue number one

1889
01:49:22,240 --> 01:49:26,400
Speaker 1: college basketball preseason holes are out and the boiler Makers

1890
01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:29,719
Speaker 1: and Matt Painter are number one in the land. As

1891
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:32,160
Speaker 1: for the Colts big win yesterday, they sit right now

1892
01:49:32,280 --> 01:49:35,479
Speaker 1: atop the AFC in terms of seeding. If the playoffs

1893
01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:37,280
Speaker 1: began today, which they don't, the Colts will be the

1894
01:49:37,360 --> 01:49:39,439
Speaker 1: number one seed. But one of the guys that's been

1895
01:49:39,439 --> 01:49:41,160
Speaker 1: a big part of that, and he plays in a

1896
01:49:41,280 --> 01:49:44,280
Speaker 1: unit that has really had to dig down deep. Kyle

1897
01:49:44,320 --> 01:49:48,639
Speaker 1: Blackman joins US next second straight game with an interception

1898
01:49:48,720 --> 01:49:50,759
Speaker 1: for Mikai Blackman, and it was a really big one

1899
01:49:51,280 --> 01:49:54,080
Speaker 1: as the Colts get to win yesterday over the Arizona Cardinals.

1900
01:49:54,120 --> 01:49:57,200
Speaker 1: Makai Blackman, by the way, began his college career at

1901
01:49:57,200 --> 01:50:01,400
Speaker 1: the University of Colorado. Several people have asked, and I'm

1902
01:50:01,400 --> 01:50:05,400
Speaker 1: happy to report that in my trip to Denver, Shannon

1903
01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:06,920
Speaker 1: did pick me up at the airport. I did not

1904
01:50:07,080 --> 01:50:09,639
Speaker 1: have to uber one hundred and thirty five bucks from

1905
01:50:09,640 --> 01:50:13,320
Speaker 1: the Denver airport to Highland's Ranch, which is suburban Denver.

1906
01:50:13,400 --> 01:50:15,800
Speaker 1: I mean that airport is like halfway to Kansas, if

1907
01:50:15,800 --> 01:50:17,800
Speaker 1: you really want to know the truth. But joining us

1908
01:50:17,840 --> 01:50:20,519
Speaker 1: now on the Java House, Peel and poor guest line.

1909
01:50:21,360 --> 01:50:22,720
Speaker 1: In just a couple of minutes from now, we will

1910
01:50:22,720 --> 01:50:24,400
Speaker 1: have Mikai Blackman. Do we not have Makay yet?

1911
01:50:25,760 --> 01:50:29,800
Speaker 2: No, they're still meetings. Okay, so my apologies.

1912
01:50:29,840 --> 01:50:31,600
Speaker 1: I thought we had Blackman there, so he will be

1913
01:50:31,680 --> 01:50:34,360
Speaker 1: joining us just a couple of minutes from now. We

1914
01:50:34,400 --> 01:50:37,600
Speaker 1: shall see with Makay Blackman on when he's able to

1915
01:50:37,680 --> 01:50:42,000
Speaker 1: join the show. But again I thought yesterday the you know,

1916
01:50:42,040 --> 01:50:46,240
Speaker 1: that is a unit in terms of that defensive backfield

1917
01:50:46,320 --> 01:50:50,080
Speaker 1: that they continue to have to play through, and obviously

1918
01:50:50,120 --> 01:50:52,360
Speaker 1: you had that yesterday with the news with Shavarius Ward

1919
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:55,160
Speaker 1: before the game Moony Ward getting the concussion, and it

1920
01:50:55,280 --> 01:50:58,280
Speaker 1: is a unit that has been continued to have to

1921
01:50:58,320 --> 01:51:03,040
Speaker 1: dig further in down to make plays, and it can't

1922
01:51:03,080 --> 01:51:07,479
Speaker 1: be easy, but I've always felt like that is one area,

1923
01:51:08,400 --> 01:51:13,440
Speaker 1: that one unit, if you will, in the defensive backfield,

1924
01:51:14,840 --> 01:51:20,919
Speaker 1: where you know you see guys that can be plugged

1925
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:25,120
Speaker 1: in at both running back in defensive back are the

1926
01:51:25,160 --> 01:51:28,599
Speaker 1: two positions I've always felt like you can kind of

1927
01:51:28,640 --> 01:51:33,040
Speaker 1: go in and get by on instinct or just overall

1928
01:51:33,120 --> 01:51:36,120
Speaker 1: feel because you're less reliant necessarily on all of the

1929
01:51:36,160 --> 01:51:39,680
Speaker 1: guys that are lighting directly alongside you, like an offensive

1930
01:51:39,680 --> 01:51:42,000
Speaker 1: lineman or a defensive lineman. I think are very reliant

1931
01:51:42,040 --> 01:51:46,320
Speaker 1: on familiarity of teammate around you. And you know, the

1932
01:51:46,600 --> 01:51:49,759
Speaker 1: Colts have had to this year. And I've been critical

1933
01:51:49,800 --> 01:51:52,200
Speaker 1: at Chris Ballard in a lot of areas, but one

1934
01:51:52,240 --> 01:51:54,519
Speaker 1: area where I have to give him some credit is,

1935
01:51:55,040 --> 01:51:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, a year ago when it came to his

1936
01:51:58,200 --> 01:52:00,640
Speaker 1: corners and his safeties, when he just said, look, I

1937
01:52:00,640 --> 01:52:02,760
Speaker 1: got to see these guys play. I'm not going to

1938
01:52:02,840 --> 01:52:06,160
Speaker 1: know what I have until I see them play. And

1939
01:52:06,920 --> 01:52:09,320
Speaker 1: he did have injury at with some of those guys.

1940
01:52:09,439 --> 01:52:14,480
Speaker 1: Juju Bruns comes to mind, but I think he essentially

1941
01:52:14,560 --> 01:52:16,960
Speaker 1: was able to say, Okay, I saw them play. Now,

1942
01:52:17,120 --> 01:52:19,840
Speaker 1: and I've seen them play enough to know that we

1943
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:23,559
Speaker 1: had to go kind of you know, and shore things up.

1944
01:52:24,040 --> 01:52:27,040
Speaker 1: And and yes, I saw enough of the guys that

1945
01:52:27,160 --> 01:52:31,120
Speaker 1: I had to know that in fact, we've got to

1946
01:52:31,160 --> 01:52:35,160
Speaker 1: go a different way and go shopping. And that's how

1947
01:52:35,160 --> 01:52:36,640
Speaker 1: you end up with Muney Ward. That's how you end

1948
01:52:36,720 --> 01:52:38,680
Speaker 1: up with Cam buying them. And truthfully, that's how you

1949
01:52:38,720 --> 01:52:41,160
Speaker 1: end up with Makai Blackman, who they made the deal

1950
01:52:41,240 --> 01:52:46,080
Speaker 1: for to get him out of Minnesota. And sometimes it's

1951
01:52:46,200 --> 01:52:54,680
Speaker 1: good to bring in differing opinion, differing viewpoint because you

1952
01:52:54,760 --> 01:52:59,439
Speaker 1: can get guys that come in that you know, was

1953
01:52:59,479 --> 01:53:03,360
Speaker 1: it by design? When Daniel Jones came in and we

1954
01:53:03,400 --> 01:53:06,760
Speaker 1: heard what Daniel Jones had to say about playing in Minnesota. Look,

1955
01:53:06,880 --> 01:53:11,400
Speaker 1: this was a franchise in Minnesota that had attention to detail.

1956
01:53:11,840 --> 01:53:15,080
Speaker 1: This is a franchise. What I saw in Minnesota was

1957
01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:22,080
Speaker 1: a group that was locked down and had every single

1958
01:53:22,280 --> 01:53:31,160
Speaker 1: little aspect of each week attention to detail covered. Now

1959
01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:33,879
Speaker 1: does that mean that did that have a factor?

1960
01:53:34,479 --> 01:53:35,120
Speaker 2: And why?

1961
01:53:35,840 --> 01:53:43,240
Speaker 1: Okay, let's that mentality, that footprint of what they are.

1962
01:53:44,160 --> 01:53:46,720
Speaker 1: We've got to get other guys and bring that in.

1963
01:53:46,960 --> 01:53:49,479
Speaker 1: Did Daniel Jones share that in Chris Ballard's like okay?

1964
01:53:49,520 --> 01:53:51,680
Speaker 1: So then Therefore, I'm comfortable with getting a guy and

1965
01:53:51,720 --> 01:53:54,000
Speaker 1: making a trade for a guy like Blackman who's coming

1966
01:53:54,000 --> 01:53:55,439
Speaker 1: from there. You know, I don't know. I don't know

1967
01:53:55,439 --> 01:53:59,160
Speaker 1: if that was a factor or not. But I think

1968
01:53:59,200 --> 01:54:07,680
Speaker 1: it's interesting that Shane Steiken so adamantly preached the importance

1969
01:54:07,760 --> 01:54:12,840
Speaker 1: of that detail and now they're getting contribution from guys

1970
01:54:12,880 --> 01:54:17,000
Speaker 1: that are coming from an organization that that detail was

1971
01:54:17,040 --> 01:54:21,440
Speaker 1: important and was a key ingredient to what made Minnesota

1972
01:54:21,520 --> 01:54:23,920
Speaker 1: a year ago successful. And then the other thing, and

1973
01:54:23,960 --> 01:54:26,640
Speaker 1: this is a conversation for a much further down the

1974
01:54:26,640 --> 01:54:29,599
Speaker 1: way road. But the other thing that comes into play

1975
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:32,560
Speaker 1: or that is of interest is if you look at

1976
01:54:32,560 --> 01:54:35,880
Speaker 1: Minnesota a year ago, with that in Sam Bradford and

1977
01:54:35,920 --> 01:54:40,000
Speaker 1: the reclamation project that was Sam Bradford, they still decided

1978
01:54:40,440 --> 01:54:43,000
Speaker 1: to go in another direction. And yes, they had a

1979
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:45,480
Speaker 1: young quarterback in the wings and JJ McCarthy who they

1980
01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:48,880
Speaker 1: had to get healthy, and Bradford's playing well in Seattle now,

1981
01:54:49,560 --> 01:54:54,680
Speaker 1: and so the Colts themselves. I think with each passing

1982
01:54:54,720 --> 01:54:57,560
Speaker 1: week we are seeing more and more the cement of

1983
01:54:57,600 --> 01:54:59,800
Speaker 1: the fact that that is not going to be of question.

1984
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:02,680
Speaker 1: It comes to the future of Daniel Jones. But who knows.

1985
01:55:03,560 --> 01:55:05,600
Speaker 1: Do the Colts look at it at the end of

1986
01:55:05,640 --> 01:55:10,040
Speaker 1: the year and say, Okay, this is a Sam Bradford situation.

1987
01:55:10,200 --> 01:55:12,520
Speaker 1: We got this far, but we feel like we have

1988
01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:14,640
Speaker 1: somebody that we can plug in this. I don't think

1989
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:17,880
Speaker 1: that's going to be the case. What this guy's doing

1990
01:55:19,600 --> 01:55:25,120
Speaker 1: in the Composure and Daniel Jones is fascinating to me

1991
01:55:25,400 --> 01:55:28,520
Speaker 1: because after games the guy seems like he's like two

1992
01:55:28,560 --> 01:55:31,200
Speaker 1: aspens from a coma. Like he comes in is just

1993
01:55:31,440 --> 01:55:34,720
Speaker 1: very even Keel doesn't seem to be a huge raw

1994
01:55:34,840 --> 01:55:39,120
Speaker 1: Rah build him up guy, but the approach that he's

1995
01:55:39,160 --> 01:55:42,200
Speaker 1: had and then the ability to go out and bounce

1996
01:55:42,320 --> 01:55:45,320
Speaker 1: back from adversity in game. It's one thing to have

1997
01:55:45,400 --> 01:55:48,720
Speaker 1: adversity and have a week to come back from it,

1998
01:55:49,480 --> 01:55:52,120
Speaker 1: but it's another to have adversity and have a drive

1999
01:55:52,360 --> 01:55:54,680
Speaker 1: to have to come back for like the next possession,

2000
01:55:56,080 --> 01:56:00,480
Speaker 1: to play possession to possession. That is in itself a challenge, right,

2001
01:56:01,040 --> 01:56:04,440
Speaker 1: And so I think Jones, when you look at it,

2002
01:56:04,960 --> 01:56:06,720
Speaker 1: you've got to give him a ton of credit for

2003
01:56:06,760 --> 01:56:13,560
Speaker 1: the fact that that is. You know, there's a professionalism

2004
01:56:13,600 --> 01:56:21,960
Speaker 1: there that just comes from being that goldfish, and so

2005
01:56:22,200 --> 01:56:27,120
Speaker 1: far it's masterful and the way that it has worked.

2006
01:56:27,200 --> 01:56:31,680
Speaker 1: And I never thought I would say this. I never

2007
01:56:31,720 --> 01:56:33,240
Speaker 1: thought at the beginning of the year I would say it.

2008
01:56:33,280 --> 01:56:35,520
Speaker 1: And six games does not a season make. They're not

2009
01:56:35,600 --> 01:56:37,320
Speaker 1: even a third of the way through the year. But

2010
01:56:37,560 --> 01:56:40,160
Speaker 1: right now, Daniel Jones is right in the mix and

2011
01:56:40,200 --> 01:56:43,880
Speaker 1: in the discussion for MVP conversation in the National Football League,

2012
01:56:44,680 --> 01:56:47,480
Speaker 1: And if you're the Giants, or for that matter, of

2013
01:56:47,480 --> 01:56:49,040
Speaker 1: the Vikings, you got to be looking at it going,

2014
01:56:49,520 --> 01:56:51,000
Speaker 1: how do we let this guy get out the door?

2015
01:56:52,200 --> 01:56:54,640
Speaker 1: Is he Joe Montana probably not? Is he Tom Brady

2016
01:56:54,680 --> 01:56:57,800
Speaker 1: probably not? Is he Andrew luck probably not? Is he

2017
01:56:57,840 --> 01:57:01,320
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes probably not. But he's really solid. And what

2018
01:57:01,360 --> 01:57:05,040
Speaker 1: the Colts have done is built a very solid foundation

2019
01:57:05,280 --> 01:57:09,160
Speaker 1: around him and give him the weapons that are necessary.

2020
01:57:09,480 --> 01:57:11,560
Speaker 1: And yet, Tyler Warren, we probably haven't talked enough about

2021
01:57:11,600 --> 01:57:13,920
Speaker 1: him today. I could probably do three hours tomorrow doing

2022
01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:16,920
Speaker 1: nothing but talking about Tyler Warren and the ability to

2023
01:57:17,040 --> 01:57:19,839
Speaker 1: put him in different spots, put him in different areas,

2024
01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:23,120
Speaker 1: get the touchdown pass to him, use him as a blocker,

2025
01:57:23,360 --> 01:57:26,520
Speaker 1: opening up holes for Jonathan Taylor, polling with Quentin Nelson.

2026
01:57:26,720 --> 01:57:30,680
Speaker 1: All of those things are enabled and facilitated by the

2027
01:57:30,800 --> 01:57:34,280
Speaker 1: fact that Tyler Warren is on the field. And if

2028
01:57:34,320 --> 01:57:36,040
Speaker 1: you're just joining us on the show today, the other

2029
01:57:36,080 --> 01:57:39,800
Speaker 1: big news in the NFL today is the fact that Tennessee,

2030
01:57:40,240 --> 01:57:43,120
Speaker 1: and it's notable because of the fact that Tennessee is

2031
01:57:43,160 --> 01:57:48,160
Speaker 1: within the AFC South Brian Callahan out in Tennessee and

2032
01:57:48,200 --> 01:57:51,480
Speaker 1: that could theoretically set back Tennessee for a while because

2033
01:57:51,680 --> 01:57:54,840
Speaker 1: you have a young quarterback, a number one overall pick,

2034
01:57:55,040 --> 01:57:57,560
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you it is so important to have

2035
01:57:57,640 --> 01:58:02,960
Speaker 1: stability around a young player like that. And for cam Ward,

2036
01:58:03,320 --> 01:58:06,520
Speaker 1: it's Trevor Lawrence with Urban Meyer and that fiasco all

2037
01:58:06,560 --> 01:58:08,720
Speaker 1: over again, where you're looking at it and you're like, look,

2038
01:58:08,760 --> 01:58:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out where I want to be

2039
01:58:10,640 --> 01:58:13,520
Speaker 1: here and what I want to be And now all

2040
01:58:13,520 --> 01:58:14,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I got to go through a coaching

2041
01:58:14,960 --> 01:58:18,040
Speaker 1: change six games into my NFL career. The hell are

2042
01:58:18,040 --> 01:58:22,240
Speaker 1: we doing? And the other big story is that of

2043
01:58:22,280 --> 01:58:26,560
Speaker 1: the AP Top twenty five preseason college basketball poll. Yeah,

2044
01:58:26,600 --> 01:58:29,640
Speaker 1: I get it, Jake, preseason polls, What does that mean?

2045
01:58:30,160 --> 01:58:30,600
Speaker 2: I get it.

2046
01:58:30,640 --> 01:58:33,120
Speaker 1: There's always a couple of teams in the preseason top

2047
01:58:33,160 --> 01:58:35,640
Speaker 1: twenty five. Who are the top two teams in the

2048
01:58:35,640 --> 01:58:40,320
Speaker 1: preseason College football poll Texas and Penn State. One just

2049
01:58:40,320 --> 01:58:42,600
Speaker 1: found their way back into the top twenty five and

2050
01:58:42,640 --> 01:58:48,080
Speaker 1: the other is cruising LinkedIn for a coach. So take

2051
01:58:48,120 --> 01:58:53,080
Speaker 1: with a great assault the preseason top twenty five. But nonetheless,

2052
01:58:53,760 --> 01:59:00,120
Speaker 1: nonetheless not a huge surprise, of course, but back or

2053
01:59:00,240 --> 01:59:02,960
Speaker 1: they have belonged for the last couple of years, that

2054
01:59:03,080 --> 01:59:08,640
Speaker 1: dynamic trio, Trey Kaufman, Wren Fletcher, Lawyer, Braiden Smith, amongst others,

2055
01:59:09,040 --> 01:59:12,480
Speaker 1: Matt Painters, Perdue Boiler Makers are the number one team

2056
01:59:12,640 --> 01:59:16,080
Speaker 1: in college basketball, the number one team in the land

2057
01:59:16,120 --> 01:59:20,880
Speaker 1: in the preseason Top twenty five, Perdue, and yes, they're

2058
01:59:20,880 --> 01:59:22,680
Speaker 1: gonna have a target on their back, but you know what,

2059
01:59:22,760 --> 01:59:24,760
Speaker 1: we talked about it with Mike de Corsi last week.

2060
01:59:26,960 --> 01:59:31,120
Speaker 1: I think Braden Smith likes that. It's funny because Braiden

2061
01:59:31,160 --> 01:59:33,600
Speaker 1: Smith's a guy that was basically off radar for the

2062
01:59:33,640 --> 01:59:36,120
Speaker 1: better part of his coming of age as a basketball player,

2063
01:59:36,280 --> 01:59:39,920
Speaker 1: and now on radar doesn't seem to bother them at all.

2064
01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:44,320
Speaker 1: And what Matt Painter has done is incredible because in

2065
01:59:44,400 --> 01:59:49,120
Speaker 1: the transfer portal nil era, Perdue basketball has had this

2066
01:59:49,280 --> 01:59:52,320
Speaker 1: stability year in and year out, where you know, every

2067
01:59:52,400 --> 01:59:56,160
Speaker 1: year the faces may change, the names may change, but

2068
01:59:56,800 --> 02:00:00,400
Speaker 1: the blueprint and the style stays the same. And to

2069
02:00:00,400 --> 02:00:05,560
Speaker 1: be able to maintain a cohesive corps in today's era

2070
02:00:06,520 --> 02:00:11,600
Speaker 1: is remarkable and rare. I mean rare. You just don't

2071
02:00:11,640 --> 02:00:16,000
Speaker 1: see it. You don't see it in today's day. But

2072
02:00:16,120 --> 02:00:18,520
Speaker 1: yet Matt Pain has this. And I go back to

2073
02:00:19,320 --> 02:00:21,720
Speaker 1: what I talked about with Mike de Corsi. I remember

2074
02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:24,760
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, marquee player Perdue was in

2075
02:00:24,800 --> 02:00:27,800
Speaker 1: the discussion to land said player. Then all of a sudden,

2076
02:00:29,080 --> 02:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Perdue was like, nowhere to be found in recruiting said player.

2077
02:00:32,360 --> 02:00:37,600
Speaker 1: And I ask him, this player is allegedly interested in Purdue,

2078
02:00:37,920 --> 02:00:41,680
Speaker 1: but Purdue doesn't seem to have reciprocal interest. And the

2079
02:00:41,760 --> 02:00:45,200
Speaker 1: response I got back was, that's because that is a handout,

2080
02:00:45,240 --> 02:00:46,760
Speaker 1: pay for play, kid, and we don't want any part

2081
02:00:46,760 --> 02:00:50,200
Speaker 1: of it. And that goes back to culture. Joining us

2082
02:00:50,240 --> 02:00:52,640
Speaker 1: now on the Java House, Peel and poor guest line

2083
02:00:53,000 --> 02:00:55,680
Speaker 1: he had yesterday his second interception in as many games

2084
02:00:55,680 --> 02:00:58,440
Speaker 1: for the Colts. Makai Blackman, the cornerback for Indianapolis, joining

2085
02:00:58,520 --> 02:00:59,160
Speaker 1: us on the show.

2086
02:00:59,360 --> 02:01:01,800
Speaker 2: Mikayle Hi, you I'm doing good?

2087
02:01:01,800 --> 02:01:02,400
Speaker 6: What about you?

2088
02:01:02,760 --> 02:01:03,680
Speaker 2: Uh? Listen?

2089
02:01:03,720 --> 02:01:06,440
Speaker 1: Man, like the whole city like a cloud nine here, right,

2090
02:01:06,520 --> 02:01:09,000
Speaker 1: and the fact that let me ask you something and

2091
02:01:09,080 --> 02:01:11,560
Speaker 1: be honest, if I would have told you at the

2092
02:01:11,560 --> 02:01:12,840
Speaker 1: time that you found out you were going to be

2093
02:01:12,840 --> 02:01:14,920
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, cult that there's six games, you were going

2094
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:16,480
Speaker 1: to be the number one seed in the AFC, you

2095
02:01:16,480 --> 02:01:16,880
Speaker 1: would have.

2096
02:01:16,800 --> 02:01:17,400
Speaker 2: Said what to me?

2097
02:01:18,840 --> 02:01:19,920
Speaker 6: I would have said, I believe you.

2098
02:01:20,920 --> 02:01:25,400
Speaker 2: That's why you're there, right, Yeah, I believe you. What

2099
02:01:25,560 --> 02:01:26,000
Speaker 2: about it?

2100
02:01:26,680 --> 02:01:28,920
Speaker 1: Let me I mean, aside from the obvious, which is, hey,

2101
02:01:28,960 --> 02:01:31,720
Speaker 1: if you play there, you gotta believe I get that, right,

2102
02:01:32,160 --> 02:01:34,680
Speaker 1: But what is it? What is it that has managed

2103
02:01:34,720 --> 02:01:36,680
Speaker 1: to have everything come together like this?

2104
02:01:38,120 --> 02:01:40,120
Speaker 6: I mean, I would say, just in my short time here,

2105
02:01:40,720 --> 02:01:43,400
Speaker 6: you could tell the coaches, the you know, supports to

2106
02:01:43,440 --> 02:01:46,160
Speaker 6: have everybody is close, tight knit, so you know, even

2107
02:01:46,760 --> 02:01:49,320
Speaker 6: pregame with us, just you know, going around shaking everybody

2108
02:01:49,400 --> 02:01:49,640
Speaker 6: up in.

2109
02:01:49,560 --> 02:01:50,000
Speaker 2: The team room.

2110
02:01:50,040 --> 02:01:52,400
Speaker 6: I would say, that's a big part of it. That's

2111
02:01:52,440 --> 02:01:54,080
Speaker 6: the first time I kind of seen people, you know,

2112
02:01:54,560 --> 02:01:56,560
Speaker 6: interact that way. So I would say, just the group

2113
02:01:56,600 --> 02:01:59,600
Speaker 6: being tight knit. You know, nobody want to let anyone down,

2114
02:01:59,640 --> 02:02:01,160
Speaker 6: Everybody trying to do their job to the best of

2115
02:02:01,160 --> 02:02:03,400
Speaker 6: their abilities, you know, for the person that they playing with.

2116
02:02:03,520 --> 02:02:05,800
Speaker 6: So I would say that's the main part when you.

2117
02:02:05,720 --> 02:02:08,680
Speaker 1: Talk about the locker room in general. I want to

2118
02:02:08,720 --> 02:02:11,840
Speaker 1: go back to yesterday before the game and just if

2119
02:02:11,880 --> 02:02:16,040
Speaker 1: you could, for us and for fans explain just kind

2120
02:02:16,040 --> 02:02:19,160
Speaker 1: of the mindset of the bizarre nature of Anthony Richardson

2121
02:02:19,160 --> 02:02:22,160
Speaker 1: getting hurt in the locker room, Mooney Ward getting hurt

2122
02:02:22,200 --> 02:02:25,240
Speaker 1: on the field and having to kind of process all

2123
02:02:25,280 --> 02:02:26,520
Speaker 1: of that and then go out and play.

2124
02:02:27,560 --> 02:02:30,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, you can't really script it any crazier

2125
02:02:30,520 --> 02:02:33,800
Speaker 6: than that. That's something I've never seen before. But like

2126
02:02:33,840 --> 02:02:36,560
Speaker 6: I said, we have a tight knit group. Everybody trusts everybody,

2127
02:02:36,600 --> 02:02:40,520
Speaker 6: regardless the situation. Those two guys went down unfortunately, but

2128
02:02:41,720 --> 02:02:43,200
Speaker 6: you know, we kind of got the guys you know

2129
02:02:43,560 --> 02:02:46,160
Speaker 6: that were next line. Everybody has to step up and

2130
02:02:46,200 --> 02:02:48,280
Speaker 6: do their job. So I feel like we did that yesterday.

2131
02:02:48,920 --> 02:02:50,960
Speaker 6: We came out with the win. So just hoping those

2132
02:02:51,000 --> 02:02:52,440
Speaker 6: guys get healthy as soon as possible.

2133
02:02:52,680 --> 02:02:55,960
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones said after the game, Makay Kyle Blackman is

2134
02:02:55,960 --> 02:02:57,400
Speaker 1: our guest on the job of house peel and poor

2135
02:02:57,440 --> 02:03:00,320
Speaker 1: guest line. He said after the game that when he

2136
02:03:00,360 --> 02:03:02,960
Speaker 1: was in Minnesota, the thing that most impressed him about

2137
02:03:02,960 --> 02:03:06,800
Speaker 1: what he learned with the Vikings was the attention to

2138
02:03:06,880 --> 02:03:11,880
Speaker 1: detail and just within that that franchise and you get it,

2139
02:03:11,920 --> 02:03:14,480
Speaker 1: you were there. Can can you elaborate on that and

2140
02:03:14,800 --> 02:03:17,600
Speaker 1: how you have been able to see that in Indianapolis.

2141
02:03:18,680 --> 02:03:21,720
Speaker 6: I just feel like even Dang before he went to Minnesota,

2142
02:03:21,720 --> 02:03:22,960
Speaker 6: I feel like he was a guy you know that

2143
02:03:23,040 --> 02:03:27,080
Speaker 6: took that detailed process. But I felct the quarterback situation

2144
02:03:27,200 --> 02:03:29,680
Speaker 6: over there in Minnesota they kind of handle it similar

2145
02:03:29,680 --> 02:03:32,480
Speaker 6: to how djsss he is here. So I mean, I

2146
02:03:32,480 --> 02:03:34,560
Speaker 6: would just say it goes hand in hand. Dj is

2147
02:03:34,560 --> 02:03:36,200
Speaker 6: a guy who he wants to be prepared and you know,

2148
02:03:36,280 --> 02:03:39,240
Speaker 6: being invested in for the team because he is our

2149
02:03:39,320 --> 02:03:41,560
Speaker 6: leader in our quarterback. So I would say that's just

2150
02:03:41,640 --> 02:03:43,360
Speaker 6: kind of the guy he is and wanting to, you know,

2151
02:03:43,480 --> 02:03:45,640
Speaker 6: do everything the right way and have things done on

2152
02:03:45,760 --> 02:03:46,800
Speaker 6: time and on schedule.

2153
02:03:47,560 --> 02:03:51,200
Speaker 1: How challenging has it been as a unit for the

2154
02:03:51,280 --> 02:03:55,840
Speaker 1: defensive backfield to not have continuity at the fault of nobody,

2155
02:03:55,880 --> 02:03:57,880
Speaker 1: I mean due to attrition and injury in general. Right

2156
02:03:57,920 --> 02:04:00,000
Speaker 1: in Jalen Jones being out, you know, the different injury

2157
02:04:00,080 --> 02:04:02,080
Speaker 1: as you guys have had to deal with Maay, how

2158
02:04:02,160 --> 02:04:03,080
Speaker 1: challenging is that.

2159
02:04:04,480 --> 02:04:07,080
Speaker 6: I mean, I guess that's what makes the NFL so special.

2160
02:04:07,800 --> 02:04:10,040
Speaker 6: We signed the guy who's past, we think he wound

2161
02:04:10,120 --> 02:04:12,400
Speaker 6: up playing a lot of snaps. I mean it's just

2162
02:04:12,720 --> 02:04:15,480
Speaker 6: you know, just kind of getting everybody communicating. Like I said,

2163
02:04:15,480 --> 02:04:17,400
Speaker 6: we still have a close knit group. We kind of brought.

2164
02:04:17,520 --> 02:04:19,680
Speaker 6: We bring the guys along. I mean, I'm gonna been

2165
02:04:19,720 --> 02:04:24,080
Speaker 6: here six six weeks myself, so I would say, even

2166
02:04:24,160 --> 02:04:25,880
Speaker 6: me just getting you know, caught up. And I'm kind

2167
02:04:25,880 --> 02:04:28,240
Speaker 6: of a guy who's looked at as an older guy

2168
02:04:28,320 --> 02:04:30,360
Speaker 6: now and I've only been here six months of lives

2169
02:04:30,360 --> 02:04:31,960
Speaker 6: coming in. I'm trying to get those guys caught up

2170
02:04:32,000 --> 02:04:35,440
Speaker 6: as well. Like I said, the next man, regardless of

2171
02:04:35,720 --> 02:04:38,920
Speaker 6: somebody goes down, gets hurt, is out. I guess we

2172
02:04:39,040 --> 02:04:41,520
Speaker 6: kind of all, you know, had that mindset of the team.

2173
02:04:41,920 --> 02:04:44,440
Speaker 1: Okay, lastly, before we let you go, Macaw, I got

2174
02:04:44,480 --> 02:04:47,720
Speaker 1: to ask you this. You finished your college career at USC, right,

2175
02:04:47,760 --> 02:04:51,720
Speaker 1: you started at Colorado, you finished at USC, correct? Yes, Okay,

2176
02:04:51,760 --> 02:04:53,640
Speaker 1: so I'd like to know this which is more bizarre

2177
02:04:53,680 --> 02:04:56,000
Speaker 1: for you to still think that USC now is a

2178
02:04:56,040 --> 02:04:58,240
Speaker 1: Big ten team, or to think that the Big Ten

2179
02:04:58,320 --> 02:05:02,040
Speaker 1: champions are going to be the Indiana fighting Hoosiers.

2180
02:05:03,160 --> 02:05:04,960
Speaker 6: So I feel like you're trying to bait me into something.

2181
02:05:05,080 --> 02:05:09,840
Speaker 6: But no, Wolf, I don't really. I'm not gonna get

2182
02:05:09,880 --> 02:05:12,480
Speaker 6: into the You know, USC is my alma manter. Y'all

2183
02:05:12,480 --> 02:05:15,160
Speaker 6: got a few teams that we play against in Indiana

2184
02:05:15,200 --> 02:05:18,840
Speaker 6: and Notre Dame and stuff like that, So I don't know.

2185
02:05:18,880 --> 02:05:21,480
Speaker 1: Man, how about those Hoosiers? Come on, you give up

2186
02:05:21,480 --> 02:05:22,760
